Just for fun, I downloaded the Windows 11 dev VM via Hyper-V to try it out.
And you're right, the keys I mentioned don't seem to work anymore.
There's a policy called "Don't search the web or display web results in Search", which doesn't seem to work. Perhaps it requires Windows to be domain-joined?
Or perhaps they were referencing the "Turn off display of recent search entries in the File Explorer search box" policy, in which case it works. The description for that policy doesn't mention web results at all, which is odd. Anyway, you will have to kill SearchHost.exe for the policy to take effect, it will be launched automatically when initiating a new search.
