The next update of the system
Windows 8 - which is what is known as Blue or 8.1 - adds a new search experience to the desktop,
Ubuntu users will are already familiar with this because it is similar to the existing one in
Ubuntu (
Unity).
Windows 8.1 inbuilt feature called
Windows Search to provide search results and not just the results of local applications , files and settings on your computer , but also from the Internet and social networking sites ; resembles the
Unity Dash in
Ubuntu .
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 .
