| | Re: SearchIndexer.exe Not sure the cause, but I know alot of people have this problem. These steps should allow you to search (altho it will probably be pretty slow): Step 1) Disable SearchIndexer - Click Start - Click Control Panel - Click System and Maintenance - Click Administrative Tools - Double-click services - Right-click "Windows Search" and click Properties - Click the Stop button - Click the Startup type dropdown box, and click Disabled - Click OK Step 2) Change search options - Go to any explorer window - Click the down arrow next to the magnifying glass in the search box - Click Search Options - Put a check next to "Always search the filesystem even for indexed locations" If you would like, you can put a check next to Include unknown file types and Include archived files, but enabling these options will make your searches slower. - JB |
