=Result Omissions=

Result omissions hide files and folders from your search results without removing them from the index.

Everything continues to monitor omitted files and folders for changes. 

Result omissions are useful for hiding files and folders that you rarely want to see in search results, such as system folders, application data folders, or recycle bins.

Toggling result omissions is instant.
