Sometimes documents in SharePoint need to have restricted access due to privacy reasons.
Excluding such files in the search result is a great way to achieve that.
By lifting off the inheritance, the search result availability of a library or a folder can be restricted.
However, if you want to re-activate the permission inheritance, click onDelete Unique Permissionsnavigating through the same prefs.
Next time you search for this folder, it wont appear in the result.
To do this the following instructions will help you.
But members with proper permission for these libraries or sites can still access them.
