Detailed Description
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Search includes built-in support for indexing many file formats. If you disable indexing for a supported file format, items containing an attachment of that file type aren't considered unsearchable. When you perform an In-Place eDiscovery search, and you select the option to include unsearchable items, only items that are actually unsearchable are returned. Items that weren't searched because the associated file format is set as unsearchable aren’t returned.

Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Exchange Search - diagnostics" entry in the Recipients Permissions topic.
