Ever have any of these happen?

* You search for an app on Windows, and it opens Bing?

* 90% of your search is questions?

* Hate copilot?

Then DSBS is for you!

DSBS is a simple tool that goes into the Windows Registry and disables the search box suggestions, making it so your Start Menu searches **ONLY** Files, Folders, Apps, and Run Commands! And if you *really* want to, you can re-enable them.

Built for Windows 10/11
