Tips to Customize Your Bing Start Search on Windows 8.1

December 5, 2013

The story on LifeHacker titled How to Configure or Disable Bing Web Search in Windows 8.1 explains a step-by step process to shut down or adjust Bing Search. The article responds to some complaints about Windows 8.1 search being slow and frustrating. Windows latest version is set up so that any search from the Start screen will yield web results.

The article explains:

“You can either turn off Bing search completely, or simply tweak settings like whether to give personalized results using your location or turning off safe search. To do any of these things, here’s where to go: Open the charms menu (place your cursor in the top right or bottom right corner) and select “Settings.” Click “Change PC settings.” Click “Search and apps.” Click “Search” in the side bar if it’s not already selected. Disable or change any options you choose.”

Some may find the search option useful, and time-saving, but for others the web search option is unnecessary. Depending on the connection speed, this might be a very frustrating option. For a more thorough tutorial laying out all of the options for customizing your Start search read How to Customize or Disable Search with Bing in Windows 8.1.
