Start 11 Search on Win 10 - Websearch

from Stardock Forums

I try to get used to the Start 11 search (as opposed to using the Win 10 Search) because of the visual aspect of remaining in the Win 11 startmenu. Cortana is off, search is redirected to Chrome and Google by Edgedeflector and Chrometana - this works as expected - as long as there are local elements that have been found. In that case, hitting "Search the web for..." opens Chrome and searches in Google. BUT, if there is only "Search the web for..." left to activate in the results, nothing happens at all. No matter whether I click or hit enter while is focussed.

If there are no results other than web options it doesn't select the item which is why you cannot press enter.  Pressing down arrow once and pressing enter would work.

I was unable to reproduce any issues with clicking on the result regardless though, that always worked.

Are you using v1.0 or 1.01?

Down arrow and enter does not work, nor does clicking with the mouse.... Same with 1.0 and freshly updated 1.01.... 

As soon as there are other results as well, down arrow and enter or mouseclick works... 

Say I search for "Ginger Chocolate" there is no app or document found, but if I search for "Start11" there is the app and then I can also open a websearch for "Start11" in the browser....
