But from a quick perusal, isn't this what Microsoft has been trying (keyword... trying) to do with their Windows 8/10 search? I can't say I am a fan of everything being typed in the local search being broadcast to third parties + internet. Ubuntu got dinged for that a few years back, and here Microsoft is trying to shove it down everyone's throats: "Oh, Test1.txt. Want me to Bing that for you? Too late, I already did." |

I use the num pad a lot for short cuts - ctrl+home , ctl+alt+- for em hyph, ctrl+PgDn/Up for Find next and previous etc, etc. Matias replaces numlock with a Tab key, which is useful when the numlock is on and you're bashing numbers into a spreadsheet. Numlock is next to Pause, up where Scroll Lock lives - where its always belonged - IMO Quote:
The search thing that recent Windows versions put in the task bar, that can be also invoked via Winkey+S seems to be a different kettle of fish. It only seems to be useful for looking up programs and the like. AFAIK it doesn't look inside your documents, emails, C++ code, music and video metadata etc etc - thank goodness. That's what the other one does. I think the Bing thing your referring to must be related to the Cortana thing (or as I call it the Mrs Ford Cortina thing), she doesn't speak 'strine so we don't get her down here - or at least I don't. Why Mrs Ford Cortina, in my world she's the daughter of Ford Prefect. I believe Mrs Cortina's Apple analogue is called Siri, which in my world has to be short for Ferranti Sirius (ly) BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-23-2017 at 08:19 AM. |
