One I haven't seen posted yet turned out to pretty darned easy so not much of a trick,
Get rid of the large search box on the taskbar,
Right click the taskbar andproperties/ search use search icon turns into the magnifying glass :/
Disable and it's gone and only appears with the winkey
Show lock screen on startup I believe it was in group policy ?
Could of been Do Not show lock screen :/

The search in tutorials sucks,
Besides that tutorial is back in 9/14 way before the search box was outside the start menu by default with Cortana.
That is a better list thanks
Well, they seemed to have fixed one thing!
I can, once again type into the forum here on one monitor while scrolling an open document of sorts on the other monitor. The focus doesn't change but both monitors remain active! :)
Hadn't been able to do that since Build 9841.
Search is an art - Windows search is still looking to mature.
Simple cmd directory listings to animated characters to SQL (less technical users had a really hard time
- some was just habit ms-search:MyNovel.doc, and some was configuration (natural language)). It didn't help that the help fell short.
Every iteration had to be learned, Win7 had a steep learning curve because it had so much power.
Search in Win10 uses the Bing desktop engine combined with Bing on the Web. The algorithms are fairly good - the presentation to the user is terrible. I've only played a bit with Win10 search, but the options on the taskbar search (my stuff, the web) are getting closer to a decent user interface. Still needs work - as Mike said "What's so hard about Do not search web seems pretty freaking clear :)
When MS realizes that not everyone wants the popular trending news or that not all users are use social media, then they might have a really nice tool. But it is simple to setup configuration options for users who want a choice.
This is a sandbox and MS is trying out a bunch of different presentations - when things get closer to RTM, they'll have lots of pieces to choose from and build upon.
Since Win10 is in flux, I don't expect the tutorial section to be much different. What is now might not be tomorrow, why spend too much time on a tut when it might be useless by the time Win10 hits RTM. Things that are tips and tricks in a certain preview build might not be tutorial material.
Everyone seems to be having a good time here, the exchanges are keeping me chucking
Now I have to go search the tutorials before I write my next tip

.
I found a couple more do not allow web search jewels
Don't search the web or display web results in search
Admin templates/ system/ windows components/ search.
Edit which didn't do jack sheet
Good point Bill.
I was going to make a tutorial about 'How to get Cortana working properly' but, I can't get Cortana working properly enough to make a tutorial about how to get Cortana working properly!
FWIW
I left feedback in the taskbar section of the feedback app
Group policy is useless .... mostly capitals
