Stop things from appearing in Start menu Search?

[xChase]

Sometimes when I search text it comes up with OneNote files, because it has the text inside that file.

Now the question is simple; is there a way to make a certain filetype/program or whatever, to stop appearing in the start menu? If so, how?

Welcome to the forum xChase. You can select what Windows indexes:

Start > Type in Indexing Options



Click on Indexing Options> Click Advanced



Click on File Types



Untick any file type you dopn't want to index



Apply and OK your way out

Let us know if have any trouble. A Guy

Ok it seems it doesn't work. I search a keyword I've put into a note in OneNote, and it still appears in the index. I've turned off indexing for .one and the OneNote thing at the main menu, but the results still appear.

The OneNote object in "Included locations" keeps popping up when after I've removed it, any ideas?

did you delete and rebuild your index? (click the advanced button to see the option)

Yes and while rebuilding, it added OneNote in there again, twice.

Not sure if this would help
