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

Both Gnome and KDE also include a web search.

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.

[-] mech@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

yes but your distro may have it disabled in their default.

Bit it will always return

I don't think that's a standard inclusion, because it's not there on my fairly standard Debian install. IRsCfAY6HL4Mftd.png

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
