Where is the option to disable web search in windows 10 start menu?

Windows 10 seems to have an annoying bug where it tries to do a web search every time I type something in the start menu search bar


It's nice that it searches through the computer to try and find the relevant programs or settings, but I do not want it to search the internet and slow down the computer at all


This, this, this and most other solutions I have been able to find online all suggest to find a cortana setting where there is an option to block web search on the start menu but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. How do I block this annoying feature on Windows 10? I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.


This says there is a registry edit that should disable it, but I haven't tried it yet and would prefer a solution that doesn't involve registry editing. Has anyone here tried this registry hack and is it safe?
