Windows 11 26H2 Windows Search without search highlights??

Hello community support,

I just recently finally updated my Win11 Desktop PC to 26H2 from 25H2 and now I noticed that Windows removed the 

Windows Search >> search highlights (along with the little mini picture in the search box on the taskbar that had a daily highlight) and just now has the boring search history:

Current Win 11 version:

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 26H2

Installed on ‎4/‎6/‎2025

OS build 26300.9711

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.372.0

I also see that the "Show search highlights toggle option no longer exists in Settings>>Privacy & Security>>Search

Yes, I can still perform "web searches" but the ready-populated web highlights on the righthand side was a decent feature and now it looks generic and very boring (too simple).  Obviously I do not want to mess around with the registry and the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" option, but again - why not just keep giving users the control and option to turn highlights on or off rather than force users to not have it at all?? 

Thanks

MJ
