    Recently my Windows 10 search bar started displaying stupid hippy-big-tech woke messages like this one: "Celebrate Earth Day" with a stupid icon. It is distracting and unwanted. My built-in rebellious nature and resentment of authority and being a general A-Hole makes we want to do the opposite. How do I return it to a nice empty, non-offensive, non-distracting white box like it is supposed to be ? I assume it some registry key, but which one ? This one makes me want to go out and buy a 2002 Hummer and spread weed killer and fertilizer in my yard and then throw my garbage in the river. I can't wait to see the next one. Maybe BLM, Obamacare, Groom Children day, Cut your junk off day, etc.

        Today *is* Earth Day. I got the same thing. The Settings option (gear icon) unfortunately don't have a "nothing" for my so-called interests.
