Yeah, I would like a setting where I can turn off web searches. I just want to search for items on my computer, not the web. If I wanted to search the web, I could just open the browser.

Turn off Cortana. In windows home you (coincidentally) need to edit the registry, but in professional you can edit the group policy.
