Have you run the compatibility troubleshooter in win11? It works reasonably well but it's a laughably stupid process. It asks you which application is having problems, then displays the first ~10 apps, alphabetically. If it's not there, you have to click a button to see the next 10 apps. Scroll, click, scroll, click, and so on until it shows the app you're looking for.

Why not just give a full list??? Or let the user start typing and bring up relevant entries? Oh, right. Microslop search functions are embarrassingly bad. Clicking through the list is better, I guess.

    The Walmart shopping app does this, too. With a cart full of upwards of 200 items, (we shop infrequently, so the list is big by the time we do), it infuriates the hell out of my spouse and I. I won't even get into how random and haphazard the items are ordered (and it's not due to the order we selected things).

    Last month Apple released their developer keynote (WWDC26) where they acknowledged their search function doesn't work well. Obviously they were saying it now because they were releasing a fix but it was comical to hear them essentially say "have you ever searched in mail or finder for something you know is there, and search just can't find it, yeah that shit happens to all of us" lol

    The weird part is Apple’s search (whether Spotlight or within apps) always kicked ass for the longest time, it’s when they started to fuck with it that it got really bad.

    Well now it is going to index every word from every file on your computer and return results based upon your key word searches I guess. while supposedly never allowing that index or the searches of those indexes to leave your machine. Seems like a scary amount of data for it to be scanning and hoping it never gets shed from your local machine... But I guess that's why you should modify the index to not scam certain locations.... Like say your PDF of your last 16 years of tax returns
