There's this really annoying visual that's showing up on my taskbar that I can't figure out what it is or how to get rid of it. It displays immediately to the right of the following text

Type here to search.

I have it circled in green in the screenshot below.

Taskbar search bar--type here to search

What is this Windows 10 searchbar functionality and how do I disable it?

(in case it matters I'm running Windows 10 Home Version 21H2)

If you right click the taskbar, and go to the Search menu, there's the Show search highlights option you can disable. Then that preview will go away and you'll enjoy a much less distracting set of variable visuals showing up in the OS.

search-highlight
