    Both Gnome and KDE also include a web search. And just like on Linux, you can disable it in Windows Settings.

      Is it on be default? Because if so I’m glad I don’t use that garbage.

        On KDE, it’s just one of the suggestions, I believe, that you could search this term on the web. If you trigger that suggestion, it then opens the web browser to do the search.

        As such, searching “terminal” wouldn’t yield a suggestion from a web result that matches, but I’m pretty sure applications are prioritized above other results either way.

          That’s good to hear. It continuously amazes me how often search bars in some pieces of software manage to be worse than ctrl-f in a plaintext document.
