start menu searching was amazing in windows 7 and completely bonkers bad in windows 10 (haven't tried 11).

It's actually hard for me to fathom how they took the best OS they've ever produced (win7) and evolved that into win10.

Still bad in 11. The other day it had a hard time finding notepad for some reason, even after typing in the full name.

yes! I've seen that too, especially after a fresh reboot. But if you wait a bit and search again it'll find it.

The worst is that lots of the time you can just type “not” and hit enter and 99% you’ll get notepad. But then it’ll randomly just do something else.

God forbid you don’t disable bing search. If you don’t, that search is all kinds of fucked up.
