Is there a way to do this?

 

I already went into PC Settings and disabled the Bing results stuff, but no cigar.

 

Pressing WIN+S and typing "power", for example, brings up stuff like powerball results.

 

It also slows down the search a lot.

 

Thanks in advance.

Getting the same from both the start menu and the other search button... bug #1371464 I guess, ignoring the settings. Feedback it.

 

I just did. Thanks.

Workaround, figured there would be a GPO for it.  Bring up the group policy editor (gpedit.msc), go to Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Search.  Enable the policies called "Don't search the web or display web results in Search" and the one right after it that's for metered connections.  That'll get it off the start menu anyway, the search app itself still uses Bing of course.  The settings screen is obviously bugged.

Hrm odd, pretty sure those are the only two I used, no reboot or relog required, it's immediate. That's via the start menu, using the the other search applet thing is still web enabled regardless, that one is tied to Bing so you're stuck with it I think unless there's another setting somewhere.  Using "power" per the OP's original test I get the following, no powerball, power rangers, etc etc.

 

But yea, it's bugged regardless, one among many.. more curious to see the CP next year when things really start to come together.

 

Still hoping they some day tie federated searches into the start menu though like Explorer, the obvious place where it should be.

    • Microsoft has an update on Exchange Online Basic Auth removal for Office 365

      By bitflusher · Posted

      Basic Auth needs to die especially for anything internet bound and exchange in the office 365 suite is extremely internet bound as the cloud service it is. Microsoft has been announcing it for years now. There is always a balance between security and usability, in this case it should be glaringly obvious.

      the more they want to charge more the more people won't buy anything at launch and wait until its reduced price or discount, hell i even waited until its free on epic game store. and smoke pass model its not viable and having others to pay 80 dollars to subside it wont help

      Pandemic of 2020, AKA justification to "print" 10 trillion $$$ and keep the Ponzi scheme alive for another while. Until the next one.
