    SearchIndexer.exe

    I use Windows Vista for Business and this system application takes a lot of
    dual CPU time (50-60%) after my computer boots. Or about 15-20 minutes after
    my desktop appears and all services and processes are loaded. This really
    slows things down until SearchIndexer is done doing its thing. I have an AMD
    dual core 4400 CPU & 2GB of RAM, and it keeps both cores busy and
    consequently, my system is as slow as molasses in January..!



    Help! Any Advice?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi James,

    You can disable the Search Index, and Vista will default to the non-indexed Search. This will search through everything, but you will not have it hogging up your resources.

    Index - Enable or Disable


    Here are some other tips that will help speed up Vista. You can just pick and use the ones you want to.

    Speed Up the Performance of Vista

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
