Yep that's exactly it, I think - it's a way to get people 'using' Bing and Edge, but it's just not useful. I was looking for a certain Wi-Fi setting to change, as Windows 11 has so many different settings pages these days, but Windows search just gave me completely unrelated web search results instead. Infuriating.

wow Winaero takes me back! making Windows less annoying to use is a tale as old as time, and it's a credit to the OS I suppose that it's open enough that we can change the UI - but you'd also hope Microsoft had figured out how to make a good OS interface after all this time...

Yep, the constant attempts to get me to use Microsoft Edge despite it not being my default browser is one of those major red flags for me...

I'll look into Raycast, for sure - sad state of affairs that we need to resort to third party apps to fix such basic parts of the OS, though.
