Re-enabling local file search in taskbar with Cortana disabled
Hello!
If I disable websearch in the taskbar by setting the key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search\ConnectedSearchUseWeb to 0 and/or I disable Cortana completely either by setting the key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search\AllowCortana to 0 or using the Group Policy Editor(Admin templates > Win components > Search > Allow Cortana), when I use the search it doesn't display local results. I can go to "Filters" and select Videos and it'll show them, but the default "All(Most relevant on this PC)" shows no results, even though there are plenty and they are indexed properly. Apps and setting show up fine though.
Anybody know how to remedy this? I want Cortana completely off, but I do want the ability to search all my indexed locations in one place(DUH!!). By the way, does anybody know how to instruct the Windows Explorer search(top right) while searching in "This PC" to only look in indexed locations? I don't mean permanently, but with some "magic" keyword like "documents: *.doc". This would alleviate the pain of not beeing able to use the taskbar search.
Thank you, kind people!
