Desktop search widget
Starting with build 25120, Windows 11 introduces a new search widget as an experimental feature that allows you to perform a web search quickly. The widget is a floating search box that appears centered at the top of the screen. When you type a query and press Enter, the result will show in Microsoft Edge using Bing search. The only caveat is that the feature doesn’t respect the default browser or search engine preferences. The feature is exposed by default, but you can disable it by right-clicking the desktop, selecting the “Show more options,” and choosing the “Show search” option.
