VisualSearchEnabled

Enable or disable visual search.

Visual search lets users search the web using an image on the page instead of typing a query, through Google Lens in the context menu. It is only offered when Google is the default search engine, so removing Google with the SearchEngines policy also takes the feature away.

Values

Set to true to enable visual search, and lock the setting.
Set to false to disable visual search, and lock the setting.
