      And maybe I’m using it wrong, but it just…doesn’t work. I use spotlight search on my MacBook to find programs and things and it just finds them. It’s fast enough to be faster than me opening things off the dock.

      I try to use the search on my wife’s Win11 computer and half the time it sends me to a website for a program she already has installed.

      Like if you want to imitate, even badly, the imitation should at least be functional.
