By default, the built-in Windows Search function also includes search results acquired from Bing Search. If you would rather not have Bing results mixed in with your local search results, follow these steps.
- Run Regedit.exe
- Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
- Look for BingSearchEnabled, if you don't see it you will need to create it, just right click in a blank area and pick New DWORD 32 bit. Type in BingSearchEnabled.
- Double click on BingSearchEnabled and set it to 0 and press OK.
- Do the same steps for CortanaConsent, if you don't see it, create a new DWORD 32 bit, again set it to 0.
- Reboot.
