For good! yes you can and very easy,looked in task manager even though disabled in Apps,the beearch was still sucking 45mb of memory[every bit saved helps! lol ]....heres the trick.

Open Task manager

then open C drive[ run C:] go to Windows folder-System apps locate Cortana....Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy.....mines now : Microsoft.Windows.Dipstick_cw5n1h2txyewy

Right click and rename the Cortana name only,and stop there......now tricky bit have task manager and this folder opened side by side, right click in task manager end task on Cortana,as fast as you can hit  enter on the Cortana folder to accept it[you got to do this before Cortana re enables it self in task manager or it wont rename says open in other device folder]

Bingo Beearch gone,no longer eaves dropping even though you disabled it in apps,you can open task magaer again  and check,wether this stays like it on updates i dunno,but pretty easy way to stop her
