    Customize Search the Web and Windows


    Can "Search the web and Windows" be set to search only Windows locally? I've read that this can be done via a policy editor, but I work in Windows 10 Home, and that option isn't directly available. Thanks.

    :)

    How do i customize "Search the web and Windows" in Windows 10

    I like how when I click on "Search the web and Windows", It shows me the popular news from Bing.

    Is there any way to customize the news, display Business news or Finance news instead?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

    You may do so by doing the following:

    • Click on Cortana and then the Notebook icon (icon below Home)
    • Select your interests and modify accordingly.

    Do reply if you have questions.
