I found a different way out wherein I used the windows firewall to block the search activity. Thanks for your time and looking in to this issue. However, overall these  are very cumbersome process to "See web results" in Search bar in Windows 10. I assumed something simpler given Windows 10 is quite user friendly.

Thanks!

Hello again, I performed searches and did tests on my pc and this option doesn't really exist in this version but I found a method that disables the suggestions box, I tested it here and it worked, but this option ends up limiting the search of some files as well.

It is up to you to carry out this step.

If you really want to deactivate, follow the steps mentioned in this video, remember to make a backup of your pc before making any changes
