Policy
Enable Windows to search local Microsoft Edge browsing data
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
Enables Windows to index Microsoft Edge browsing data stored locally on the user's device and allows users to find and launch previously stored browsing data directly from Windows features such as the search box on the taskbar in Windows. If you enable this policy or don't configure it, Microsoft Edge publishes local browsing data to the Windows Indexer. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge won't share data to the Windows Indexer. Note that if you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge removes the data shared with Windows on the device and stops sharing any new browsing data.
