Microsoft is set to enhance the search functionality in Windows 11 with two significant updates aimed at improving user experience. The first update enables the search feature to display possible results after typing just two characters, making it quicker to find files. The second enhancement, currently in testing, introduces a 'search by substring' capability, allowing users to locate files with long compound names, such as 'CookingRecipesJune2026', by typing just a part of the name, like 'Recipes'. Previously, users had to input the full beginning of the file name to find it, which was a common frustration. These updates are expected to roll out with the June update, although users may experience a staggered rollout. Additionally, Microsoft is working on reducing the prominence of web results in search, addressing another common complaint among Windows users. Overall, these improvements reflect Microsoft's ongoing efforts to refine Windows 11 ahead of future releases.
