Windows 10: Search suggestions with magnifying glass

Since a recent update, the search field window pops up intermittently with advertising for AI above the Recent area. I can click that shut, but it's also now displaying weird tips that I don't need as questions with a search magnifying glass at the end of each one. I can still close them, but it lists nearly a half dozen or more each time and this isn't after I perform any related searches. I can't find a way to shut this off. I'm checking if anyone else is having this problem and asking for suggestions. There isn't a see search suggestions option to turn off, as many websites recommend.

Magnifying glass icon

Why does the magnifying glass icon keep disappearing from the task bar and how do I get it back (and keep it there)? The last time I searched for magnifier.exe as someone suggested, got it back, now it's gone again. Please, this is driving me crazy.

How do I remove the word “Search” next to the magnifying glass in windows 11 taskbar?

Initially, it was just the new search button or magnifying glass on the taskbar. After resetting the computer to factory, now taskbar shows the magnifying glass with the word “Search” next to it. Is there a way to remove the word “Search” And just have the magnifying glass?
