Remove Bing from Windows Search

If you search in Windows 10 and Windows 11, local search results such as apps and settings will be displayed. If Windows cannot find the search result locally, it will display search results from Bing, known as “Web Search”.

Please note: These are search results in the start menu. If you are bothered by the Bing search engine, please read the articles below:

• Remove Bing search engine from Google Chrome browser.
• Remove Bing search engine from Microsoft Edge browser.

The Bing search results appear in the start menu and in the settings as “Search the web” search results. These web results in the start menu are opened with the Bing search engine.

In a world that is mainly dependent on Google search results, Bing search integration can be forced and annoying in Windows 10 or Windows 11. Removing Bing from Windows search results is possible. This is how it works.

Remove Bing from Windows Search

To remove Bing from the search results like in the start menu we need to make some adjustments to it Windows registry.

Right-click on the start button. Click Run in the menu.

In the run window type:

regedit.exe

In the top bar type:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Left-click on “Windows” with the right mouse button. Click on “New” and then on “Key”.

Name the new key “Explorer”.

Right click with the right mouse button. Click New and then “DWORD (32-bit) Value”.

Name this value “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions” and change the value data to “1".

Close the Windows registry and restart your computer.

Below you can see the result. The Bing search results are now no longer displayed in the start menu.

I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
