Doing a Win11 Search for 'Copilot' draws a blank and sends me off to MicroSoft to get Copilot.
Does this mean I have previously successfully removed 'Copilot'??
Use the Settings wheel. You can see two items there.
Settings : Apps : Installed Apps
CoPilot
Microsoft 365 Copilot
MSEdge (CoPilot icon in upper right corner)

The Microsoft idea of search, is purposely completely off the mark.
This is why there are occasional discussions here, about what
tools are the right "substitutes" for what you've been given.
1) You were supposed to go to File Explorer, upper right hand corner
and search there for evidence CoPilot is on your C: drive.
Make sure the C: drive is selected, while you are searching.
Search will occur for whatever domain you select. If you select
something like "My PC", then all the partitions are searched.
2) To prepare the machine for searching from File Explorer
Start : Run : control.exe
Then, look for the Indexing Options control panel.

That picture shows that 1.2 million files have been indexed,
so that each time a File Explorer search is done, it is done
against a list of 1.2 million files.
My Win11 machine on the other hand, has indexed 76 files (less than
a hundred files) and the search is then, worthless. And I can leave
it that way, as I have MythicSoftware Agent Ransack loaded.
