Microsoft has introduced a new and improved Windows Search for its Insider channel users with a Copilot+ PC. The updated search tool utilizes the NPU to provide faster and more accurate results, allowing users to search for files, images, and settings without relying on internet connectivity.
To use the enhanced search feature, users must set up their environment by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Searching Windows. From there, they can choose which areas of their PC are indexed, with the option to turn on “Enhanced” to index the entire device.
The new search capabilities offer more flexibility than traditional Windows Search, enabling users to find specific files and settings using natural language inputs such as “bridge at sunset” or “change my theme.” This update is exclusive to Copilot+ PCs, and non-Insider channel users will not be able to access it.
