    I’m skeptical. The average user is an office worker or creator that wants to get their task done and uses search engines of their choice in the browser of their choice for searching, not the start menu, because the start menu opens their query in edge instead of the browser they use.

    I’m not convinced.

      You know how every now and again the “pro user” community is pissed off because a useful feature gets axed?

      That’s because the “pro user” community goes out of their way to fully disable telemetry, which means - according to the data Microsoft receives - nobody is using said features. No point in maintaining something that nobody uses, so it gets the axe.

      Web search is not only still around, it’s being developed, and will get extra features in the upcoming updates.
