Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Enhanced Search

2. Start Searching Windows Index

3. The Warning: Not all files are indexed. warning appears

4. This is because on Windows 11 I use (version 23H2) changing Classic vs Enhanced Search setting writes value to the
   Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\EnableFindMyFiles registry key while IndexerDriveDetection.cs searches in Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\EnableFindMyFiles

Please check:

PowerToys/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/DriveDetection/IndexerDriveDetection.cs

Line 35 in a94b3ee

string registryLocation = @"Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex";

✔️ Expected Behavior

Since Enhanced Search is enabled Warning: Not all files are indexed. warning should not appear.

❌ Actual Behavior

Even though the Enhanced Search setting is enabled, the Warning: Not all files are indexed. warning still appears.

This is because on Windows 11 I use (version 23H2) changing Classic vs Enhanced Search setting writes value to the
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\EnableFindMyFiles registry key while IndexerDriveDetection.cs searches in Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\EnableFindMyFiles
