I have been unable to find a replacement for Windows indexing. I'm a biology student and these are files I use everyday. This solution works in one sense but I need indexing turned on to help me search through about 100,000 pdf files that I have on my PC. Yes, that worked and the indexing stopped (actually usually shows up again once or twice right after I restart but no more).Ĭouple of times I tried turning it back on after another restart but then same problem occurs as before, so I have left it off. The only "solution" has been to turn off indexing (based on a tutorial I read): Going to services, right click on Windows Search and disabled and restart PC. I have rebuilt the index three times (twice intentionally, once the PC had started doing it itself) in the last two or three weeks. I am attaching a picture of my task manager from earlier so you can see (Though it didn't happen in this case, the Disk percentage sometimes goes up 99% or 100% when indexing starts acting up). Then in five, ten, twenty minutes, I never know when, it would begin again. In the past I would wait but it did not stop so eventually what I did was right click on the process and ending it (I had to do it several times back to back because usually it showed up again in a few secs). Sometimes the Disk column also goes to 99% or 100% usage. For instance, when I open a Task Manager, I can see Microsoft Windows Search Indexer suddenly rising to the top, CPU usage going from like 3% to 50% or more and my PC's fans start revving up. What I mean is that even when I'm not downloading anything, even when index is not being rebuilt, every 5-20 minutes (irregularly) that process begins to overuse my CPU. Since about about 20 days ago (perhaps it happened after a Windows update, not sure, but I think it has happened before.not sure how or why it stopped last time), Microsoft Windows Search Indexer has been acting very moody, suddenly abusing my CPU like crazy. Hi, the "Microsoft Windows Search Indexer" is driving me nuts and heating up my PC in my hot little apartment.
