Windows 10: How do you remove the tiny scrollbar in the file explorer search box?

Maybe I am crazy but I haven't seen this until a few months ago. I find it very annoying is there anyway to disable that particular scrollbar individually without disabling anything else?

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

W10 search box shows suggestions - cannot be removed

Hello,
after the latest Windows 10 update (from 20H2 to 21H2) the suggestions list in the Windows 10 search bothers me.
Attached are 2 pictures of how it looks after and before the update.
Is there any way to remove them? I already tried it with W10 Privacy, but without success.
These are not app suggestions that can be disabled. The problem has occurred since the latest update, so it shouldn't be too familiar. One is before and one is after the update ("Vorschläge" means suggestions):
