Sometimes... if you put in just the right number of characters so it doesn't search the web instead... but then, it is often the first result even! No, wait, it moved just before I clicked it, fuck.


And they keep screwing with the right registry incantation to turn off the web search crap.

If you're on 2004, it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows, DisableSearchBoxSuggestions = DWORD(1)

If you're on 1909, it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search CortanaConsent = DWORD(0), and BingSearchEnabled = DWORD(0)
