How to disable search the web option in Search/Cortana?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you want to disable search the web in Search/Cortana. The option to disable this feature was available in the older build version of Windows, however, this option has been removed in the latest version of Windows. This seems to be
a useful option, hence, I would suggest you to post a feedback in the Microsoft
Feedback Hub so that our developing team can review it and check if they can provide the option back in a newer build of Windows.



However, you may try to modify the Group Policy settings and check if that works. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type gpedit.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search.
   
4. On the right pane, double click on Don’t search the web or display web results in Search
   and select Enabled.
   
5. Click on OK. Restart the computer.
   

Regards,
