Windows 10: General Cortana questions

I didn't want to muddy the Software subforum with this as it's not a problem, just a few inquires.
I want to be able to tell Cortana to just chat for a while and not to search everything by opening a browser window. Is this possible?

When Cortana does search, can I tell her just to grab some info and speak it to me instead of opening a browser window?

Can I personalize Cortana by having her greet me when I turn on the PC and respond to me personally when I speak to her? - It is possible to get her to remember things that she doesn't send to microsoft? (if not, that would be a great feature, allowing Cortana to remeber personal info and respond to it in kind because it's stored on your local machine)

Can any of this be done and if not, what do you think of these suggestions? Do you think Cortana should have any of these features?

I know the AI isn't very good, but I seek to get the most out of it as possible. Thank You.

:)

Thanks for the reply Mark.

So Mark, you are telling me, that not even the first one is possible? I cant even turn off search and simply chat with Cortana? (It seems that would be the easiest to do out of my inquires)

You see, I own Dragon NaturalySpeaking ver 14. I can use it to search into the internet, any search engine I want, via voice and it will dictate for me into reply boxes in places like youtube. It doesn't have an AI but it seems neither does Cortana - and
Cortana cannot even do the common things Dragon has been able to do for years. It's really sad but with Cortana lacking so much functionality, she's not worth using.

Can you tell me, Is Microsoft even working on such features? Where can I go to find out what the next version of Cortana will have and when it will be released?

Thank you.
