Microsoft just debloated Windows 11 Search without Bing, and it's crazy fast

SMRTR summary

Microsoft is testing a new Windows 11 Search feature that lets users completely turn off Bing web results and Microsoft Store suggestions. The update makes Search noticeably faster by skipping web requests entirely, prioritizing local files and settings instead. The toggles work independently, and no official release date for regular users has been announced.
