Windows search i.e., the search bar next to the Start button on Windows 10 can search the web as well as your system for whatever app or file name you type. Web search wasn’t part of Windows 7 and Windows 10 users haven’t warmed up to it. They prefer to disable it and with each major Windows 10 update, Microsoft enables it again. Sometimes even removes whatever trick users come up with to disable web search.
The same has happened with the Windows 10 April Update aka the Spring Creators Update and understandably, you will want to disable web search again. Here’s how.
You can type what you're looking for in the search box (Win+S) on the taskbar. You'll get suggestions and answers to your questions, and search results from your PC (My stuff) and the Internet (Web).
If you turn on search online and include web results, search will use your previous Bing searches, and locations (if available) to improve search suggestions and provide web results. After you type a search term, you can click/tap on My stuff to find results for files, apps, settings, photos, videos, and music across your PC and OneDrive, or click/tap on Web to find results on the internet.
If you turn off search online and include web results, search will not provide web results, or use my location or online search history. After you type a search term, you can click/tap on Search my stuff to find results for files, apps, settings, photos, videos, and music across your PC and OneDrive.
Starting with Windows 10 build 18317, Microsoft separated Search and Cortana.
