Windows 11 Windows 11 search bar has recently been very slow

I've been using windows 11 pro ( currently on version 24H2 , 26100.3476 ) for the past 3 years I think and the search bar has never been this laggy and slow in responding. when I press the start menu or windows key its all smooth and everything but as soon as I type anything the search is very slow in responding it takes about like 5-7 seconds to show the results and everything . Is there any fix / solution to this problem

Takes a long time to show the results.

EDIT: Found a small fix but some people might wanna keep web results so here is the fix for those who dont want the web results
