The problem is that I don't have enough screen real estate to have a search function that is literally "search everything for X".
Even Google the king of search separates it's searches down into different categories for pictures/video etc. What is the eventual endgame here anyway?
When I want to run an xterm, is it really necessary to spin off hundreds of HTTP requests to every retailer/social network on the planet to find stuff that's probably completely unrelated?
I run software programs probably 100x-1000x more than I do online shopping for anything.
Sure you can do Start+A to get direct to application search, but MS has spend the last almost 20 years training us that "Start gets your programs".
In fact even Metro for all of it's fault, still knows that it's important to give people a nice uncluttered list of programs when they ask for them.
