Disabling VLU (Visual Look Up) in Monterey
I recently purchased a new Mac Studio with Monterey. I found it a complete distraction to work in Photos while having the "info" pane open, as VLU places a little icon right in the photo I'm working on. After struggling to find a way to disable this feature I finally found a solution that worked.
It resides in Spotlight Search.
Go to System Preferences - Spotlight - Search Results tab. Scroll down to "Siri Suggestions" and uncheck.
The next time you open Photos and utilize the info pane, the little icon will be gone.
I hope this helps others.
