Subject: [PATCH] Policy CSP- Disable Search update (Hold)

The updates here are made as per task 5857645. This PR is a duplicate of https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-docs-pr/pull/6438 (for which the updates were approved by SME), that went earlier than target date. This has to go live with SV2 public documentation release sometime in September. Thanks!
