Will Start 10 still allow me to change search engines?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I am wondering if this gets pushed thru if Start 10 will still be viable?

I hate cortana and I hate Bing even more. Will Start 10 allow me to remove Cortana and let me search ONLY local files on my computer like I want (After this update)?

I have Cortana turned off on win10. One of the first things I did. Can't even see it. I use Start 10 and Windowblinds 10.

There are many links to tell you how to turn it off. Here is one if you wish to look at it.

Start10 uses the Windows Indexing service to search local files.

Thanks for the responses. The issue I posted was that with the next update Cortana will not be able to be 'turned' off and you will be 'forced' to use 'bing' for all searches. GAH.... Bing? I thought that went away like 'Ask Jeeves'...

You do know that Ask.com is still a thing and once was AskJeeves.com, right?  :)
