Why can’t Windows search handle simple maths, Spotlight on macOS can.

The real question is who the fuck uses windows search? lol

I'll be the first to defend Windows but that shit is atrocious. I also hope for the future that we can replace Cortana with the Google Assistant or something other than that piece of garbage.

I mainly use it to open applications, anything beyond that and it’s complete shite.

@err-occured I hid the search box down to the Cortana icon and I'm currently debating just hiding that too lol

@Stuxnet I’ve disabled & hid cortana altogether including the search bar, there is no need to have a 1/5 the screen taken up by useless crap, I have enough icons on there altogether

@err-occured That's where we're different lol. My home screen has like 4 icons and a shortcut to a folder.

My toolbar has 5 icons.

Perhaps because it's a search and not a-tool-that-tries-to-do-everything-but-poorly (a.k.a. Spotlight)

Spotlights search is far superior to windows search, I’m not saying that because I’m a fanboy of apple, I happen to use both on a bi-daily basis and spotlight is so much slicker in terms of search.

It’s a bit of a shame that Microsoft misses the mark so much on this one. Search has never been Microsoft strong point

I mean it's not even a good working search... sometimes a more precise search word shows the wrong result whereas the same word with less characters matches perfectly

The proper way of doing simple math is using the incredible computational power of Wolfram Alpha... Anything else is for losers

I still remember when all functions in wolfram were for free...

@cobolplz

The powerful bit is that you can expand the workout :) thanks symbolic language
