Stop Hidden Files Showing Up in Search Results In Windows [Tutorial]

In Windows 11, the Cortana box or the Windows Search box can search for files and folders on your PC. By default, the search includes files and folders in your profile folder (C:\Users\[user name]) like the Desktop, documents, pictures, and downloads.

You may not want all your files and folders to be included in the search. Maybe you have some private files and you don’t want them appearing in the search results. Preventing a folder from appearing in the search results is referred to as deindexing it.

The search field, one that’s available next to the Start Menu helps you search for existing built-in or downloaded programs and files. After all existing files and programs related to your searched keywords, you see matched web results.
