Current coverage focuses on Windows Search, including local indexing, Bing connections, cloud accounts, File Explorer behavior, and the Copilot+ PC strategy. These topics raise practical questions about where search activity and data are processed, how AI-enhanced results fit into the desktop, and what users should understand before relying on the feature.
