Why does Windows Search eat up every memory address I've got?! After
reloading a computer with Windows Vista Basic, after running for a few days, Windows Search starts eating more and more memory... and you know how that goes. Hard disk starts thrashing. I had to disable Windows Search in services.msc snap-in. PLEASE FIX THIS MICROSOFT!!!  By the way, the computer has 1 gig of RAM. |

What I actually did was disable the indexing service, which causes Windows to
default back to the slow search. That is a workaround, not a solution. Why does indexing use so many system resources??
