The correct utility to use for excluding an application folder from being cataloged by a Windows 10 search is 'Indexing Options.' This utility allows users to modify the locations that Windows Search indexes. By accessing the 'Modify' button within 'Indexing Options,' users can uncheck the box next to the desired folder to exclude it from the index.

Privacy settings govern what usage data Windows is permitted to collect and what device functions are enabled and for which apps. There are multiple settings toggles to determine what data collection and app permissions are allowed: Data collection allows Microsoft to process usage telemetry.

I found the option to exclude folders under "Privacy & security" -> "Searching Windows" on my Windows 11 PC.

In Windows 10 there's an option "Privacy & Security>Searching Windows" but "indexing options" might be closely related to the question because its a complete name of the tool and its an old option
