Registry tweaks

[tistou77]

Hello

I am looking for an option to disable web search when I do a search from the Windows Explorer (just display folders and files)
I tested this but it does not work

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
"DisableWebSearch"=dword:00000001
"ConnectedSearchUseWeb"=dword:00000000

Thanks

Have you tested with "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000 ?

There is already this key and set to 0

Thanks

Well, i don't get web results by typing NTLite, maybe because of the DNS Client removal, windows search suggested to open this search in Ms Store.

I also have "DNS Client" deleted and it is for the search in Windows Explorer (not in the Start Menu or Cortona)

But remember, you don't have issues with activation because of the DNS Client removal.

@tistou77, I now tried on default non-configured Windows to search from Desktop or C:, typed Bing in the upper-right corner, and all it shows me are files and folders.
How did you managed to enable the web search there would be a better question

Maybe a screenshot how to see that? Could it be it just searches web history, try clearing it.

@nuhi, Looking for a little more, it is the history / cookies Web is displayed (files on the disk)
