With Vista running my SearchIndexer.exe is taking up a little over 100 MB I also never use it. So wasteful. I was just searching for some information on this topic and found your page.

I only apply the hotfixes that deal with security issues and I hate doing it because it interferes with my up time!

You use it, great for you. I wouldn't advise you to get rid of it then. The point being is, I DON'T want to use search and find data! I only store documents in a few locations and don't really to search for anything. The end, if you use it, keep it. If you don't use it (like me) get rid of the fucking thing because it is a memory whore. My computer has ran much better since it has been gone! Doug,

I use wds all the time and appreciate it's ability to find pieces of data. If you want to use search and find data, you have to give up a little ram and processing to rebuild the index.. jeanne doesn't just fold her arms and blink and voila it's found! You're probably the same person who complains about resturant service and cuts in line on the freeway onramp..
