I just installed Windows 10 1803.

I like Cortana for finding things on my computer. But I never
want Cortana to run a Bing web search.

I don't want to use Cortana for finding things on the net.

For that, I can use my own browser set to my choice of search
engine.

How do I turn off Cortana's connection to Bing on the net? At the
same time keeping Cortana's searches on my computer?


Perhaps this helps:

It's certainly possible to limit the Cortana search to local files,
that's what happens here on my machine - no Bing web search results
to be seen on the search results from the Start menu. No fiddling
with TCP/IP settings, host files or proxies either. I can't provide
simple step by step instructions, no idea what are the critical
settings to enable this. Win10 ver 1803 and using Start10 on this
machine.
