The more we use our PCs, the more data gets collected. The apps we open, the websites we visit, or the files we use are all fragments of a bigger picture—a picture that Search Highlights in Windows 11 is designed to help you discover.
How to Disable 'Search Highlights' in Windows 11
What are search highlights and how do you turn them on (or off) on your Windows 11 PC? This guide explains.
Search highlights are designed to show you interesting content, either from you or related to your selected interests or location. This information appears when you open the search tool on Windows.
For example, it might show you an “on this day” post, showing you what happened on the current day in a different year. It might show you a photo you’ve been tagged in before, from the same date. You might see other interesting news or current events, trending searches, or other personally relevant information.
