Am I the only person that still types "command" in the search? It's windows who is typing "terminal"?
Yes I know it's a terminal, but it's never been called that AFAIK. It's always been the command prompt.

The newest windows terminal is called "terminal".
I used to type "cwd", but after installing terminal, I type "terminal". Probably same situation for OP.

When I recently upgrade a hundred windows 10 machines to 11 the majority of the keyboard time to do this was disabling all that shit.

It's no longer meant to be used by computer savvy people. It's meant for consumers. Literally. People that just consume and do not produce or think.
We are walking a different path now and need to say goodbye to windows and Microsoft.
Use Everything! search for Windows. Literally one of the strongest points of NTFS is lightning fast indexing, using tools like Everything and WizTree. The only things I miss on Linux. Oh also AutoHotKey.
I just set the Everything window to appear on ALT+3 (I have found this to be a very useful shortcut because it's rarely used by anything else and is easy to reach quickly)(some function keys also work well for it), you just type, it highlights, you press enter, you're done. And so many sorting options.

2025? I don't remember the search in the start menu working correctly since windows 8
That was when they broke it.
I was working at MSFT when they rolled out Windows 8.
Basically broke all internal workflows for a month or two.
Then quickly had to re-enable the 7 UI they told even us employees did not exist in 8.
They did some kind of hackjob, called that 8.1, and fast forward a decade, Windows 11 had, last time I checked at least 4 different 'eras' of UI schemes/frameworks, if you dig far enough into all the settings menus.
I am not even joking when I say that people literally screamed at me when I used the word 'refactor' in a sentence, while on the MSFT campus.

Terminal cancer
In an unmodified windows it would also show random tabloid news from MSN or affiliates inside the start menu...
Thanks I hate it
