Microsoft tests Windows Search without all the ads and fluff

微软正在测试去广告、去冗余的 Windows 搜索功能

Microsoft is testing a cleaner version of the Windows 11 search menu that strips it of recommended content and ads. In a blog post on Monday, Microsoft announced that it’s rolling out the decluttered Search Box to Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel as the company looks to regain trust with users and fix Windows.

微软正在测试一个更简洁的 Windows 11 搜索菜单版本，移除了其中的推荐内容和广告。周一，微软在一篇博客文章中宣布，正向 Windows Insider 预览体验计划的“实验性频道”（Experimental channel）用户推送这一精简版搜索框，此举旨在重拾用户信任并改善 Windows 体验。

One of the biggest changes is a revamped search homescreen that displays only your recent searches. Currently, when you open the search menu, it shows your recent searches alongside several distracting tiles on the right pane, containing things like the image of the day, daily quizzes, trending searches, and game recommendations.

最大的变化之一是重构后的搜索主页，它现在仅显示你最近的搜索记录。目前，当你打开搜索菜单时，它会在显示近期搜索的同时，在右侧面板展示多个干扰视线的磁贴，其中包含每日图片、每日测验、热门搜索和游戏推荐等内容。

Microsoft is cleaning up web results, too, as the search menu will surface the “most relevant answer” first, rather than showing “related products and promotions.”

微软也在清理网页搜索结果，搜索菜单将优先显示“最相关的答案”，而不是展示“相关产品和促销信息”。

Aside from doing some decluttering, Microsoft is testing other notable improvements to its search menu. It will more clearly show metadata, along with a preview of the file in the pane on the right side of the search menu, making it easier to figure out where the result came from. The Windows 11 search system will also prioritize results from your local files, apps, and settings, which will “more reliably appear” ahead of web and Microsoft Store recommendations. Testers can now turn off web and Store recommendations entirely from the Settings menu.

除了精简界面外，微软还在测试搜索菜单的其他显著改进。它将更清晰地显示元数据，并在搜索菜单右侧面板提供文件预览，使用户更容易辨别搜索结果的来源。Windows 11 搜索系统还将优先显示本地文件、应用和设置的结果，这些结果将比网页和 Microsoft Store 的推荐内容“更可靠地”优先出现。测试人员现在可以在设置菜单中完全关闭网页和商店推荐。

There are a few quality-of-life updates, too, as Microsoft says the search system it’s piloting can better handle typos, extra letters, and partial words, while offering some performance improvements.

此外还有一些提升使用体验的更新，微软表示，其正在试点的搜索系统能更好地处理拼写错误、多余字母和部分词汇，同时还带来了一些性能上的提升。
