Windows 10: Remove Edge and Bing from Search Suggestions

I use Windows 10, and when I open Search it's cluttered with MS Edge and Bing suggestions. I already use Edge, and have been for quite awhile. I don't use Bing. I detest it. Is there some way I can remove those suggestions? The Search function doesn't even wait for me to start typing, it starts with loads of useless crud.I wouldn't even ask this, except this is something that's only been happening since the last couple of updates. It used to be when I opened the Search function it started with my most recently used stuff. Quite helpful, actually. Thanks for any help!
