Is there anyway I can get the new Search bar in the taskbar for Beta or Release Preview channels?

My guess would be no, as these things are usually baked into system processes. Could be wrong though.

Hi @Brink I just noticed today Search Visuals today have been added to Windows 11 Stable Build. I find this very strange New Windows 11 Update 22000.1098 (KB5018418) – Update for Windows 11 21H2 with new Search Visuals and more - Tech Based I'm wondering also if maybe they have been added to the Beta or Release Preview channels? do you know :)

Hello Aaron, :-)

Not sure. Since build 25201, Microsoft concluded testing the different visual treatments for search on the taskbar.

I remember that aswell, I just thought it was very odd they've added it to the stable build for some reason. I would experiment with ViveTool and find out if it was on my Beta channel although last time I tried ViveTool it nearly messed up my computer. I really want the Search Visual though since I used left alligned taskbar and it could take up some empty space on my taskbar.

...without being an insider, it's still possible with ViVeTool.

Windows 11 build 25197 gets Windows 10-like taskbar search, here is how to enable it

Microsoft seems to be working on bringing a Windows 10-styled taskbar search in Windows 11. This appears to be an expansion to recent Search style variations that were added with build 25158.

@TizianoMad So it's only possible on stable build?

Hi @aaron106

I'm not sure actually, as I don't use it. This trick only came out a month ago and was relayed to me at the time.
As MS keeps changing experimental features from a build to another, I cannot guarantee it still works, but it's quite recent.

Hope ViVeTool will not cause you too much problems this time.
