What about showing the result that exactly matches the search query instead of a bunch of similar items?

Windows 11 start menu. The search term is "settings". The too result is "Mouse Settings". The "Settings" app is not present.

For instance, when you type in the word "add" as in, "add or remove a program", why the fuck does start show you printers?

Because obviously you want to Add A Printer, and that's the only thing they can conceive of. If you wanted to uninstall something, why install it in the first place? Everything Microsoft provides on first install is vital, so it can't be any of that stuff

I swear windows search has been getting worse and worse since Windows 8. 8s start menu sucked, but it's search was great.
