Any way to exclude certain folders from Start 11 search SEPARATELY from Windows search indexing

October 22, 2024 3:54 AM from

Hi,

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to exclude certain folders from Start 11 search, or manually choose the indexing options for Start 11 specifically.

I.E. If I have 2 folders, music and videos - I want to change the Start 11 indexing options so that it only searches within the music folder, but windows search will still index both the music and videos folders.

I have version 1.55.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am not sure if Start11 v1 have this option, but in Start11 v2.11 there is an option to use Everything search and I believe, with Everything you can exclude folders.

Setting on Everything to exclude Folder.

Thank you.
