CMAKE_FIND_USE_INSTALL_PREFIX
-----------------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.24
Controls the default behavior of the following commands for whether or not to
search the install location:
* :command:`find_program`
* :command:`find_library`
* :command:`find_file`
* :command:`find_path`
* :command:`find_package`
This is useful in cross-compiling environments.
Due to backwards compatibility with :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX`,
the behavior of the find command change based on if this variable exists.
