Tech/UI Musing, On Search Functions
For as much as I dislike Search As Navigation I seem to end up using it a bunch just to find things - usually settings - because people don't seem to design good UI any more. Something with understandable navigation. There's always some random thing in a place that doesn't quite hit the mark.
Windows 10's search is invasive and phones home, but it's useful for bringing up a specific section of admin control panel stuff, and trying to find certain settings in Android has had me using the search function there too.
I don't ever touch it for file navigation though.
