The following fix worked for me. I don't see any outbound traffic on Fiddler when typing searches in the Start menu or when actually running the search. Granted, Microsoft needs to make this MUCH easier to do; the VAST majority of Windows users have no idea what group policies are.
1. Run gpedit.msc
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Search
3. Set the State to Enabled for "Do not allow web search", "Don't search the web or display web results in Search", and "Don't search the web or display web results in Search over metered connections"
4. Reboot
Enjoy. :)
- redcalx 11y ago> I don't see any outbound traffic on Fiddler Be aware that software can choose to not use a system configure proxy. It's a good tool to use, but absence of traffic in fiddler is not a definitive result, not least because it's tracking http traffic only. Wireshark is probably the next best option.
- nathanaldensr 11y agoOf course this is true, but the OP's screenshot is a Fiddler screenshot. It's safe to say the calls in question do use the proxy configuration. For completeness, I ran Wireshark and didn't see any outbound HTTP (or otherwise abnormal) traffic while searching from the Start menu.
- ultramancool 11y agoA few people including myself have done some GPO changes and not had any luck. I'm not sure I was quite as thorough, so I'll retest this tonight using your specific suggestions.
- ultramancool 11y agoJust to confirm, I have all of these set, have rebooted and this traffic still occurs. If you really don't have it, I have no idea what you did.
