Windows 11 enables users to hide specific file types (for example, images or videos) from search results. This allows you to optimize your search and find what you’re looking for without difficulty. Follow the steps below to hide specific file types from search results in your Windows 11: 1. Open the Start menu, start typing “Indexing Options,” and open them. 2. Select “Advanced.” 3. Go to the “File Types” tab. 4. All file types that Windows displays in its search results will appear on the screen. Find the file type you want to exclude from the search and unmark the checkbox next to it. If you don’t see the format you want to hide, press “Add new extension to the list,” enter the format, and select “Add.” 5. Go to the “Index Settings” tab and select “Rebuild” next to “Delete and rebuild index.” 6. Press “Ok.” 7. A prompt will appear on the screen informing you that rebuilding the index can take some time, and the search results may be incomplete. Select “Ok.” Wait a few minutes until the process is completed, and the selected file types will be excluded from your search results.
