SearchIndexer is a poorly designed "feature" and a waste of your
system resources.

start ->run-> services.msc
find search indexer.exe
right click and change to "disabled"

Google "Agent Ransack". Download it, install, feel better.

Thanks for the information on this subject, I'll give it a try.

My post, my mistake :-)

Start -> Run -> Services.msc

Right click on "Windows Search". Set to "disabled".
