The number for people I have seen with search box still enabled in taskbar tells me that's true.

[–] PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Everyone. Everywhere.

It blows my mind, but then I realise that we here on Lemmy are the 1% of IT users.

Yeah right‽ Why do people keep the full search box enabled? It takes up so much space. I usually switch to the search button.

I even see quite a lot of people in IT (not talking about tech or devs) that keep it enabled.

I think it's one of those things that just becomes mentally invisible after a while. Like Microsoft slowly just drops in a new bar here, a stock ticker there, and there's a point where a majority of folks are like "...Was that always there?" and don't bother hunting for a way to turn it off like we do lol.
