Windows search is much improved, but still far from perfect
When I reviewed Windows 8 I criticized its broken down search, as it
didn't make sense to separate documents from settings if search was
meant to be used as a keyboard launcher. Windows 8.1 fixes this with
universal search that works well most of the time, including some
semantic search capabilities (queries don't need to be keyword-exact).
However if you've used OS X, you'll note that Mac maintains its upper
hand with more seamless and useful results. For example, OS X can
remember your preference of a previous query and make that result more
prominent in future searches with less keystrokes.
