The Windows Search Service uses an index attribute to locate files quickly. By deactivating the index attribute of the folder where Nora stores her data files, she can exclude them from searches. This means that the search function will not include the file names or contents of the data files in its results. The compress attribute refers to the level of compression for a file, and would not affect search results. The archive attribute marks a file as archived, and the hidden attribute hides the file from view, but neither of these attributes would prevent the search service from including the file in its results.
