If you enable this policy, the search functionality of the F3 key is disabled. Users cannot press F3 to search the Internet (from Internet Explorer) or to search the hard disk (from File Explorer). If the user presses F3, a prompt appears that informs the user that this feature has been disabled.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can press F3 to search the Internet (from Internet Explorer) or the hard disk (from File Explorer).
