Every. Single. Keystroke. Instantly.
Just searching for a contact, an appointment or a local file? Doesn’t matter, it gets sent to Apple anyways.
You probably want to turn this off!
Go to Settings -> Search and disable „show related content“.
This disables web search in the launcher, but what do we have browsers for?
@NikTheDusky I’m somewhat remembering having agreed to something that might be this very feature. Are you sure that it is enabled by default?

@mast0d0nphan the keyboard doesn't matter because the requests that are sent are part of the search feature in the search bar on the home screen. you can either turn of location access for this specific feature to prevent it from including your geolocation, or disable the web search suggestions feature altogether. This happens in your browser as well, if you have suggestions turned on there. You need to disable these as well, if you don't want that.
