Turn off search suggestions in Windows 11?

Anyone have any[1] ideas on how to get rid of this BS when you open Start?

[1] that don't involve "go back to Windows 10" or "get a Mac", etc.

Right click - search - turn off search highlights.
Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, thanks.

Hidden behind the the dot menu and then having to scroll down to find it, under filters and "personalized results", like they didn't want you to find it easily.

Oh no, it's right there in the UI, so hidden.

Right there in the UI, two windows away! You have to left-click in the text box, and the Start window disappears, to be replaced with a search window, then left-click the 3 dots, click Search Settings from the popup menu, and then scroll down in the new window that pops up.

Anyone else a little worried that Microsoft is pushing population control?

I mean, unwanted features. Yeah.
