Noticed some redundant and useless features in the updated spotlight search that I haven’t be able to clean up with setting yet.

Why does it have two sections for apps? How do I go back to just one? and whats with the new search feature thats suggesting “redfin emailed” in this case? I haven’t been able to get rid of that either. I have “suggestions while searching” turned off, and yet, its still giving me that. Gets worse when I search for more generic app names.

That top section isn’t for apps. It’s for the most likely hits. It can be contacts, etc.

Is there a way to get rid of it since most of the time its just a duplicate of the app section.

EDIT: Looks like its not even for that.

Top box has apps, next box has a contact, then another box of apps, then another box of contacts behind the keyboard.
