      @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:

                        https://gist.github.com/tjgruber/b7e0e79743e0e1e5044133c498c43d96#file-win10securitysettingsgpo-htm

                        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.

                                            Finally back to this. So I did some testing to try to figure out if I was crazy. The application that I specifically tested was "Game Manager" because my daughter has it installed on her Windows 10 and I have it on the big Windows 10 laptop that we use for games. On one system doing "Windows Button -> "Game" " brings it up. On the other, it does not. It's the same app, the same OS, nothing altered on either and the same process gives two different results. In both cases I've discovered that typing BFG will bring up the app as that is part of the executable file name. But the name of the app is Game Manager on both systems identically and both display it the same, but only one finds that in search.
