I've tested a few times with the Windows 10 previews (of course the latest just seemed to kick the bucket even though I had only barely used it - the virtual PC (Oracle VirtualBox) version.
Regardless, I have tested with I suppose it was 10074 or thereabout, and tested one account with my "live" account and one without. The one with the live account linked would allow me to search, the other would not at all.
So my thought is: if the "Live" account login is only required for the Cortanna search, then perhaps there are alternatives, or will be, for those who don't want to link their online account to their local account.
And, I may be remembering incorrectly, when I looked at the settings, it seemed like Cortana was setup as an all or nothing type deal on privacy. So basically you have to allow them to collect every bit of data they have check-boxes for or else they don't let you search at all. Did I misread that, or possibly getting confused with something else?
I may try it again in the next couple weeks sometime, so I thought I'd see if anyone had seen/read about or else used/tried alternative search tools/methods since the Cortana introduction.
Thanks for any thoughts.
