SearchScopes specifies Internet search providers.
During unattended installation, SearchScopes adds search providers to the default list of search providers, but does not overwrite user-chosen providers.

|---|
| If the user performs an upgrade to the operating system, the existing search providers from the previous operating system installation are maintained. The search providers that the unattended-installation answer file specifies are applied only when the user clicks Restore Defaults. |
