Windows 11 just got a couple of sizeable new additions with its latest patch, although these flew under the radar, as they’re hidden and need to be enabled using a special configuration tool.

Neowin(opens in new tab) flagged up that PhantomOcean3, an avid Windows tester and leaker on Twitter, posted about the hidden search features that come with Windows 11’s KB5022303 patch (which has just been deployed for January).

They consist of a search bar along the top of the Start menu, and a search box for the taskbar (Windows 10 style, as seen in Windows 11 preview builds already).
