I just know this works differently than it used to. I don't know when it changed, but I do know that it changed.

As far as avoiding it, I don't use Windows enough to know how to avoid it (and I really don't care). I thought this difference came with Windows 11, but maybe Microsoft recently foisted it on Windows 10 users also.

What I do know is that, when I do a Menu search in Linux Mint, I find my application and am not sent off on a wild Bing goose chase under Edge.

This "feature" should be optional in Windows, it shouldn't be the default that you have to avoid.
