About BeautySearch
BeautySearch is a Search Window appearance tweaker for Windows 10 and later that works by injecting a custom JavaScript file into the search interface. It can be installed automatically with an installer written in C# or manually, and a separate script is available for Windows 11.
It includes options such as fake acrylic for 20H1 and later, accent color on the Search Window, dark-themed search results, context menu adjustments, Top Apps editing, and disabling the 19H2 and later File Explorer search experience. The fake acrylic implementation is described as having some limitations, and the old taskbar search icon restore method no longer works after update KB5052077.
