Windows 10: Windows Search and keeping Accounts separate

Hi,

Id like to set Windows 10 up so that the personal files of one account are not accessible from the other accounts (at least not without the passcode), either by navigating to the relevant folder in windows explorer (ie going to the relevant hard drive, the users folder etc) or by conducting a search in the search bar by the Windows button. Can anyone walk me though how to do this please?

thanks
