Disabling Windows 11 from showing web results in search

[Pfffman]

Linus comments a lot on WAN show about having issues with showing web results in Windows 11 search.  I agree that this is annoying and that it should be easily disabled.

 

For those that want to spend the minor effort it CAN be disabled via a registry tweak.  This does not solve the inconsistency/illogical way the search works, just removes web results.  I have personally made this change and it does work.  Link below.
