This feature allows you to disable find my files completely on the machine.

AllowIndexingEncryptedStoresOrItems

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	✅ Pro ✅ Enterprise ✅ Education ✅ Windows SE ✅ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 1607 [10.0.14393] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Search/AllowIndexingEncryptedStoresOrItems

This policy setting allows encrypted items to be indexed.

If you enable this policy setting, indexing will attempt to decrypt and index the content (access restrictions will still apply).
If you disable this policy setting, the search service components (including non-Microsoft components) are expected not to index encrypted items or encrypted stores. This policy setting isn't configured by default.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the local setting, configured through Control Panel, will be used. By default, the Control Panel setting is set to not index encrypted content.

When this setting is enabled or disabled, the index is rebuilt completely.

Full volume encryption (such as BitLocker Drive Encryption or a non-Microsoft solution) must be used for the location of the index to maintain security for encrypted files.

When the policy is enabled, Windows Information Protection (WIP) protected items are indexed. The metadata about them are stored in an unencrypted location. The metadata includes file path and date modified.

When the policy is disabled, the WIP protected items aren't indexed. The encrypted items don't show up in the results in Cortana or file explorer. Search performance may also be affected on photos and other media apps, if there are many WIP-protected media files on the device.

The most restrictive value is 0 to not allow indexing of encrypted items.

Description framework properties:

Property name	Property value

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Search/AllowSearchHighlights

✅ Device ❌ User	✅ Pro ✅ Enterprise ✅ Education ✅ Windows SE ✅ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 1607 [10.0.14393] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Search/AllowUsingDiacritics

This policy setting allows words that contain diacritic characters to be treated as separate words.

If you enable this policy setting, words that only differ in diacritics are treated as different words.
If you disable this policy setting, words with diacritics and words without diacritics are treated as identical words. This policy setting isn't configured by default.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the local setting, configured through Control Panel, will be used.

Note

By default, the Control Panel setting is set to treat words that differ only because of diacritics as the same word.

The most restrictive value is 0 to not allow the use of diacritics.

Description framework properties:

Property name	Property value

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	✅ Pro ✅ Enterprise ✅ Education ✅ Windows SE ✅ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 1607 [10.0.14393] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Search/AlwaysUseAutoLangDetection

This policy setting determines when Windows uses automatic language detection results, and when it relies on indexing history.

If you enable this policy setting, Windows will always use automatic language detection to index (as it did in Windows 7). Using automatic language detection can increase memory usage. We recommend enabling this policy setting only on PCs where documents are stored in many languages.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Windows will use automatic language detection only when it can determine the language of a document with high confidence.

The most restrictive value is 0 to now allow automatic language detection.

Description framework properties:

Property name	Property value
Format	`int`
Access Type	Add, Delete, Get, Replace

Allowed values:

Value	Description

This policy setting allows you to configure search on the taskbar.

If you enable this policy setting and set it to hide, search on taskbar will be hidden by default. Users can't change it in Settings.
If you enable this policy setting and set it to search icon only, the search icon will be displayed on the taskbar by default. Users can't change it in Settings.
