I have just noticed today thet even though i have told my computer not to index any files the searchindexer process still uses 21,352K of ram, i know that much might not be much but wen u got only 1.5 GB of ram running vista every little bit is needed (expecially wen u r installing 7 in virtual )
is there any way to get rid of it or should i just turn it off in the services menu?
We run Vista home premium on a Dell Dimension E521. Last spring our system slowed way down--we didn't know why. We backed everything up and reloaded the system. It worked well for about 2 months. Now the CPU is running consistently at 100%, and we finally discovered that it is Searchindexer.exe. We "end process" three times, and it will turn off each time, but restarts after the first two times. By the third time, it stays off. In Control Panel=> Indexing options, it says "Indexing is not running" even when Searchindexer is hogging all the memory. Are these separate activities? How can we disable this annoying memory hog? Just turn it off totally?
