What is the purpose of the line apiContentSearchModel.setFilteredByFolder(false); in Page Designer?

The purpose of the line apiContentSearchModel.setFilteredByFolder(false); in Page Designer is to enable the search functionality to include content assets that are not contained within folders. By setting this parameter to false, the search model broadens its scope, ensuring that all relevant content assets, regardless of their folder structure, can be included in the search results. This is particularly valuable when users need to retrieve assets quickly without being restricted to a specific organizational structure, allowing for a more comprehensive search experience.

In this scenario, the other options do not accurately describe the function of this code line. For example, preventing Page Designer pages and components from being searchable contradicts the intent of allowing a broader search scope. Additionally, filtering search results into separate page and component folders is not the purpose either; instead, it's about including all types of content in the search results. Lastly, extending the ConrencSearchModel to allow folder filtering does not capture the essence of the settings being adjusted. The focus here is on expanding the search capabilities rather than imposing filters.
