How to stop wIndows search from "recommending" i download edge chromium.

Microsoft has gotten around to put ads for their browser in search disguising them as "recommendations"

It cannot find anywhere to disable this. Is there anyway to disable these ads?

ive already disabled ads in the start menu, and then swapped to classic shell, but i just find the windows search feature usefull sometimes, when classic shell cannot find with im looking for.

TLDR;

How do i disable "recommendations" in the search bar.

Settings > Personalization > Start and turn off "Show suggestions occasionally in Start".

If you're still using actual Classic Shell, it might be worth swapping over to Open Shell. Fundamentally the same thing, but still actively updated.
