Thanks. :-)

Not "real" solutions, but they kind of work.

Looks like the GPOs for disabling search in my previous post works. I did come across this GPO in User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Tools > Start Menu and Taskbar:
Search just apps from the Apps view

Enabling this GPO will at least prevent users from being able to search for anything other than Apps in the Apps view.

I have had that one enable before; overview of options did help in nailing new start menu!
