When you create a policy, one of the properties that you set determines what gets encrypted when the policy is applied to a document. You can set it to...
- Encrypt the entire file, which means that the document could not be searched\indexed as all of the document contents, including any meta data are in an encrypted state.
- Encrypt the document except meta date, which means that the document can be searched\indexed based on the meta data as it is NOT encrypted
- No Encryption, which means that the document, including any meta data is not in an encrypted state, and can therefore be searched\indexed.
Hope this helps.
