If you actually read the EULA for windows 10 it says Microsoft owns all of your data. You aren't searching Windows, it's searching you.
I'm not the only one who believes this.

And if you actually read that SE Q&A, and the EULA...no, MS does not 'own all of your data'.

And you are, of course, free to use some other operating system.

I set my Search to Hidden, then use the freeware program Locate32 for searchin'. It's lightweight, lots of configuration options, like including network shares, Boolean searches and a whole of other nice features. Been usin' it since XP and have never had the first issue, um hmm.

So if you're frettin' about MS, Big Brother or whomever, just implement a 3rd party alternative, and simmer down.

If MS takes your data you have no effective recourse. I actually don't use another operating system. I just don't do any banking or other financial business on the computer. A Windows computer is just a toy.
But MS is not the only reason I have for doing this. Linux is not secure inm y situation either.
