Windows Search learns to take orders
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Microsoft's latest Windows Search preview promises faster results and less clutter, while adding a new sideline: carrying out commands such as muting audio or minimizing windows. Following July's improvements, Microsoft began rolling out the new preview yesterday. The Actions feature lets users change settings directly from Windows Search. Typing "mute" into the search box and selecting the resulting action silences the speakers, with a "Done!" message confirming the change. The same applies to other actions.
