I didn't even want the windows search results to include web links in the first place....

There’s just a teeny tiny problem with that; disabling web search renders Search unable to do maths.

It’s not an issue for me since I use PowerToys to get Spotlight-esque search in Windows, but it’s nevertheless hilarious.

macOS search is so much better than Windows search it’s not even remotely close.

Yeah but does macOS search use it's own search engine to prop up user hit metrics and generate more ad revenue for Apple? I don't think so. Score 1 Microsoft, our corporate tyrant.

Thanks!

I haven't used the windows search since forever, but if I ever need it again I'll keep this is mind if I see the web results still bothering me.
