Saved Internet searches are confidential information. From them you can learn about the user’s preferences, interests, the legality of his behavior on websites, what purchases he made, transactions, etc. Computer scammers, having received requests from a search engine for a certain period of time, can organize a successful virus attack on the victim’s computer to steal logins and passwords, and bank card data.

Have a safe web surfing!
In this review, we got acquainted with the principles of operation of the search service in Windows 10 and an easy way to speed up the search by adding popular directories (locations) to the indexed database (index). Today we will talk about how to reduce or remove general and Internet searches from the taskbar.
Someone will ask: why? It's simple: the search field takes up a lot of space in the panel and its transformation into a beautiful compact icon will primarily please owners of devices with a small display. And disabling web search is guaranteed to increase the speed of the search process.
How to remove or reduce the search field inWindows 10
All manipulations will take you a few seconds! Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and select " Search". Three options for setting up the search string are visualized:
- "Hidden" (hides the search field from the taskbar);
- "Show search icon" (replaces the field with a magnifying glass icon);
- "Show search field" (default).
All that remains is to choose the most acceptable option. Of course, disabling search (the “Hidden” option) does not affect the search bar in the “Start” menu, and you can always “roll back” to the original search option through the taskbar (the “Show search field” option).
How to disable (remove) web search inWindows 10
Appeared in Windows 10 personal assistant Cortana is a self-learning search tool integrated into the system, with which you can search for information both from the keyboard and through voice commands. However, mixing the results of local and web-search, plus the relatively slow speed of the service forces users to look for a way out of the situation. Below I will describe point by point how to disable it in the “top ten” voiced Search the Internet using the Local Group Policy Editor.
- Through the key combination " Win + R"Call the "Run" window and enter gpedit.msc → "OK".
- Expand the branch on the left side of the editor window Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Find (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Search ).
- In the right part of the window we will find the parameters " Prevent Internet searches" ("Do not allow web search") And " Don't search the Internet or display Internet results in search" ("Don"t search the web or display web results in Search").
- Double-click on each of the parameters and in the settings window that opens, activate " Included" ("Enabled") → "OK".
- After closing the Group Policy Editor, restart the computer.
All that's left to do is to enjoy what you've done: only local results will be displayed in the search bar, and the service Windows Search will work as quickly as possible.
A Search Panel has been added to the taskbar, next to the Start button, which combines search capabilities both locally on the computer and on the Internet, using the Bing search engine (Search the web and Windows).
According to available information, Bing will be the one and only search engine for such tasks that Microsoft will use by default in Windows 10.
As you may have noticed, the new search string takes up too much space on the PP and, in my opinion, is unnecessary. After all, it is also duplicated in the “Start” button menu. And it is used infrequently by many users.
At the same time, the operating system does not provide the user with the opportunity to independently change Bing to any other search engine, for example Google or Yandex. And since I most like to use it as a “snoop,” it’s natural that I won’t turn to Bing often. I doubt the advisability of placing this panel on the PZ for me personally.
Fortunately, it is possible to easily disable it or make it much more compact for those users who still like its location and functionality. Let's get started!
HOW TO REMOVE THE SEARCH BAR IN WINDOWS 10
By right-clicking on the PZ, call up its “Properties”.
Go to the “Toolbar” tab and at the bottom, instead of “Show search box”, select the “Disabled” option, and then click on the “Apply” and “OK” buttons in turn.
We get the desired result and learned how to remove the search bar in Windows 10.
HOW TO MAKE IT MORE COMPACT
Accordingly, in the same settings, select “Show search window”, then click “Apply” and “OK”.
Taking advantage of the inattention of computer owners, the email giant Mail very often installs its applications without their knowledge, replacing browser start pages and search pages, which is very annoying and alarming for a user who is accustomed to “their settings.” And then the owner faces the question: “How to delete the mail.ru search”?
The devil is not so scary!
To begin with, regardless of the browser you have installed, we will use the services of the “Add or Remove Programs” control panel utility. In the window that opens, without regret, delete [email protected], Mail.ru Sputnik and similar illegally installed programs. If you don't do this first, the next steps will not bring the desired result.
Training on the Mozilla Firefox browser
Our uninvited guest is most deeply “registered” in the Mozilla Firefox browser. Using his example, we will see how you can delete the mail.ru search.
In the search bar drop-down list, select your usual search engine, for example, Yandex.
It will be used in the future by default.
Next, to permanently delete the mail ru search, type about:config in the address bar. We promise that we will be careful when changing settings, and we will get into the storage of all browser settings. Don't be intimidated by their abundance! We will find all the information we need using the search bar, where we will enter “mail.ru”. Manually, on each line found, change the state to “Reset”.
We go back to the browser settings, search for “keyword.URL” and reset it too. By default, the search string you selected earlier is set.
How to remove the mail.ru line from other browsers?
In Chrome and Opera browsers, actions to delete mail.ru search are limited only to the fact that in the settings you need to change the default search to any other.
Yes, do not forget to change the start page of your browser. And nothing will remind you of the hidden enemy invasion!
Hello everyone, somehow I got a search bar right on the taskbar, well, next to the Start button! Well, wow I think, what a cool guy! This field appeared after I installed some kind of program, I won’t lie, I don’t remember which one - either some codecs or a video player, well, I don’t remember and that’s it, what can I do?
This line is quite convenient, because you can search both on the Internet and on the computer, and this is how Yandex makes its way onto the computer. In general, I will show you how to delete a Yandex string, but believe me, think carefully, because this is a fairly convenient thing. I’ll delete it, but simply because I’m not looking for anything on the computer, I know where everything is, and I already search on the Internet using the Yandex search engine...
So, this is what a Yandex string is, this is what it looks like:
But if you click on it, the following window will open:
Agree that it’s not so bad!
In general, of course, you may not believe it, but I have started to like Yandex more as a company, even if their software is not the best, but they somehow know how to do it in an original and stylish way! Well, it seems to me that they have their own style in orange and yellow tones!
For example, I wrote the word jokes and several options immediately popped up:
If you select a phrase, a browser will open with a Yandex search for this phrase. Internet Explorer opened for me:
Well, now how to remove this stuff. Although I will say again, in my opinion this search is cool. Okay, in general, look, go to Start and select Control Panel there:
If you have Windows 10, then this is great, but there this item is in the menu that opens Win + X!
Then we find the Programs and Features icon (if you don’t have icons, then at the top, there in the upper right part there is such a menu as View, select Large icons there):
Well, a window will open with all the programs you have installed, here at the very bottom you should have this Yandex line - right-click on it and select Delete:
Then you will see a message like this, click Yes:
The deletion process will last a couple of seconds, and then everything will end and the page will open, for me it was Internet Explorer again. On the page there will be a question why you deleted this Yandex line and answer options are given, well, you can answer.
