How? I feel like every time I do my ~1 yearly Windows reinstall I need to google it and then alter half a dozen registry keys and a bunch of group policy settings, and some of them are the "old" settings now replaced with something even more vaguely named (probably on purpose).
Click Start, type something to bring up search results, click the kabob in the top right (...), click "Search Settings", disable "Show search highlights".
Ok, I'll bite ... why are you reinstalling and reconfiguring windows on a regular, yearly basis?
