While Microsoft does not create something away from what in Unity , it is fair to say that Ubuntu was the first operating system that has made ​​the equation : " Find anything , anywhere ," a key part of the desktop.

- Microsoft says : " You can see everything you can do on your computer in one part , you can be running applications , and operates music , and even bring the results of the Web ."

There is an additional resemblance which is: that the Unity interface displays search results in the application browser  (DASH) , which also benefits from property Unity previews ( Unity previews ) to add more information and procedures , and in this context, Windows 8.1 has a new feature similar called "Search Heroes ".

Unity aims to do something similar with another new feature Smart Scopes , which aims to find what you 're looking for and then shows you the results that match with it.

Because Microsoft has a full search engine "Bing" not to mention a wide range of media content sites , there is no doubt that the results will be incredibly accurate .

 The most important point in this issue is that Ubuntu has proven itself among its competitors through this feature .
