    What good is Windows Search? And if it is not good for anything, how can I get rid of it?


    Sometimes, Windows Search comes up on my computer unintentionally when I touch my touchpad in the wrong way. Sometimes I click on it to find an app or a file, but I am always disappointed by how poorly it works. To find files, I have to use the search box in the File Explorer. To find e-mails, I need to search in the e-mail program.


    Windows Search simply does not seem to work well for anything at all. Or am I missing something of importance that would be of use to me? I would love to know.
