Windows 11 introduces Search without Bing results

Windows 11 has introduced the Bing search service without results, a novelty that comes with an optional update that also offers new features in the taskbar and start menu.

Microsoft has launched the optional August update (KB5120998), which means that it is not downloaded or installed automatically and users interested in it must do so manually.

This update recovers the mobile taskbaralready seen in Windows 10, so that its location can be modified, although in the case of the version for Windows 11, there is currently no possibility of dragging it across the screen, but rather the place where you want to place it must be configured.

With the update it is also possible to reduce the size of the taskbar, not only the icons, as was allowed until now, as well as change the size of the start menu, with options between small and large that adapt to the resolution of the screen.

The third element that receives new features is Windows Search, which is accessed from the search bar located on the taskbar. From now on, it can be configured so that only show results from the system and not from the web with Bingas reported in Windows Latest.

Search also now has a simplified layout that searches reduce visual clutter y shows the origin of the results (application, configuration, file, web result or store suggestion), so that before clicking on them you can clearly see what it is about.
