Expanded universal search
Why we like it: When you use the search feature in Windows 8.1, you no longer have to choose which category you want to sift through. Instead, it will pull results from your files, your apps, and the Internet, and you'll get it in all in one list.
How to use it: Swipe over from the right side of the screen and select the search charm. Search for something and watch the results pour in.
