Search reindexing every reboot

Since installing SP1 I find search re-indexing from scratch every reboot.
Painful! I do want to keep using Vista search but if I can't figure out how
to stop this behavior I'll be reluctantly switching it off. Any ideas?

How do you know that is happening?

I see it counting up again in control panel \ indexing options....

Well, maybe, you're not letting the indexing go to completion because
something started rebuilding the index.

When I let the Windows Update update Windows Search with the new 4.0, the
indexed had to be rebuilt. I couldn't get the new search to work as it kept
saying *failed* to initialize. So, I had to Restore back to a point to
remove the update and go back to the old search. I did this a couple of
times of trying the new and going back to the old, and the index was being
rebuilt each time I did it, which I noticed the indexing activity when I
booted the machine.

The last time I did the restore back to the old one and rebooted, I just let
the indexing go until it said that it completed. So may be you're booting in
the middle of it re-indexing and it's starting over. It does take a long
time to re-index, like hours, and you're not giving it the time it needs to
complete its task.

No, tried that. The index reaches completion and then stays quite stable
until I have to reboot for any reason. Then it starts reindexing again from
scratch.... Don't think it did this pre SP1 but not sure.

I got SP1 and it's not doing it nor was it doing it prior to SP1. Did you
rebuild the Index manually without it doing it to see if that stops it. Did
you stop/start the Indexing service to reset the service to see if that
stops it?

Ok, it seems to have stopped now. Done 2 reboots and the index just seems to
carry on from where it was rather than starting from scratch. Maybe it just
needed time to settle down after installing SP1 and various other new
software (lots of reboots....)
See my new question re: Vista and WMP11 search 19/8/08 if you can help...
