> "Essential Search, a smart search function that helps users find information across their device."

By now I'm wondering whether this feature constantly keeps getting developed by multiple companies because of a user-first motivation (an actual NEED by the user), or an engineering-first motivation ("we build a big index, apply some model on top, add a search-bar, BAM! AI!")

I've never had a need for a context-less search where I type "Netflix" and it shows me the App on my phone, all Emails from Netflix, all chats where I mentioned it, all bookmarks of it, just for me to work through all that noise manually again...
