@nadnerB I wonder if it's possible to disable the "search online" with GPO...

It is and has been mentioned long ago in this thread.

@JaredBusch I must've missed it, I saw the post that @nadnerB posted last night from my mobile.
I'll find it.

not sure if the specific setting was listed but it was noted by someone that they disable it by GPO.

@JaredBusch Maybe @scottalanmiller forked that portion into a different topic, as it is not in this one.
Any ideas?

@JaredBusch Of course right as I stop reading his post it's right there..
Thanks.
@Tim_G what GPO do you have set to disable this?
-
Never had an issue even with online searches.
If I type terms, I get my Dara IT terms and conditions files.
I always get to the apps I need.
Bearing in mind my systems are all SSD based, so that may or may not be a factor.

You have to do a bit of configuration with libraries and Windows Server indexing and stuff to get it to search network shares, I believe? I haven't done this, but might. Are you lot keeping files on local drives? I don't keep anything locally.
Also, I believe it searches OneDrive by default, but I'm not sure if that includes ODfB? Is it easy to get it to search Sharepoint Online, as this is something I will probably need to do soon.

I tried to paste it in here... exported my GPO to .htm. But the length is too big. Any idea how I can link you to an .htm file easily?

Here you go:

Here's the entire actual GPO I made.
Copy the whole thing, and save it as a .htm file to see all the settings as you'd see them in the Group Policy console display. It's lengthy, but helpful.

But to specifically answer your question, it's here:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search >
- Do not allow web search = Enabled
- Don't search the web or display web results in Search = Enabled
- Don't search the web or display web results in Search over metered connections = Enabled
-
@Tim_G Thank you for that.
Sadly our DFL doesn't support this.....

That is probably what is missing.
