    As a software dev I wonder how does this even happen?

    • The movie snippet somehow has bigger weight for ordering - why would that ever be preferred?
    • The ordering is random?
    • The movie snippet is faster than App and Folder snippets?

    It’s incredible how incompetent Microsoft is.

      Even without any nefarious motives, they just do dumb stuff like that. I have Clone Hero installed. Whenever I press Super/Windows and I start typing ‘clon’, the FIRST thing that comes up is ‘Control Panel’, Clone Hero being the second guess.

      So whenever I want to quickly start the game, I type ‘clon’, press enter, then get annoyed by the lack of Clone Hero and an unwelcome Control Panel window.

      As a guy who runs the Windows environment at work and doesn’t see any of that shit at all - neither at work, nor on my extended family’s devices - I also wonder, how does this even happen?

          My point was that the only time I ever see anything like this happen, is when people complain about it online.

          I’ve managed around 10-20k Windows devices since Windows 10 came out. I’ve never seen a web search take priority over apps search. I’m honestly baffled as to where people are getting these screenshots from.

            Haha, sorry, just realised that I read the comment completely wrong somehow

            But to your comment, i have experienced that windows os trying to sort personalised, so order changes based on what you frequently use

            I recognised that because i need to help my coworkers often and while the amount of letters needed to show me the app I need varies a lot

      Theyve been rolling out intellisense for the terminal in Vscode, it’s completely breaking tab complete for me.

        but in this example clearly Wikipedia and probably IMDB are not paying them right? Or is it their attempt to disguise selling out by always preferring the buyable option even when it’s at 0$?
