    Search button and Wifi petitions

    Hi,

    I send you two ideas/petitions.

    For saving battery, and if GPS doesn't consume much to do this, it would be cool:

    • Register with GPS the most used wifis (office, home, other) and automatically turn off wifi when you're moving.
    • If you don't move and you're using the phone, automatically turn on wifi, search for one and show notification about it. If no wifi found turn it automatically off again.
    Don't understand why have another search buttons on screen when you have one physically on the phone!!. It's a natural action to press the search button in the app that you are using. I suggest these situations.

    • If you are in tiles screen and user press search button, show Bing.
    • If you are in app list and user press search button, show Search for apps.
    • If you are using an app and it supports search button, show the app's Search page.
    • If you are using an app and doesn't support search button, show Bing.
    • If you are using an app and you want show Bing, hold finger on search button like Back button on multitask.
    What do you think guys?

    Regards,

    W10 search box shows suggestions - cannot be removed

    Hello,
    after the latest Windows 10 update (from 20H2 to 21H2) the suggestions list in the Windows 10 search bothers me.
    Attached are 2 pictures of how it looks after and before the update.
    Is there any way to remove them? I already tried it with W10 Privacy, but without success.
    These are not app suggestions that can be disabled. The problem has occurred since the latest update, so it shouldn't be too familiar. One is before and one is after the update ("Vorschläge" means suggestions):

    Pressing the search button used to show me most used apps/ files. Now it shows me suggested...

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?
