Rusa upp eller inaktivera det Windows sökandet som indexerar i utsikt
Det nya indexera tjänste- som byggs in i Windows utsikt, har varit betvinga av klagomål för en radda, sedan den verkar för att sparka in på konstiga tider och för att besegra ditt hårda drev. Så vad kan vi göra för att rusa upp denna?
Det finns två alternativ: Du kan antingen klippning besegra beloppet av sparar att det Windows sökandet indexerar, eller du kan inaktivera det helt, om du använder aldrig sökandet.
Klippning besegrar att indexera lägen
Det bäst långt som ska klippas, besegrar beloppet av processortid som det indexera tjänste- bruket är, genom att klippa, besegrar beloppet av sparar att indexeras. För anföra som exempel, om du inte söker regelbundet till och med ditt C: kör, där är egentligen inget behov att indexera det.
Personligen älskar jag sökandet fungerar för framtidsutsikt och startmenyn, men det är det enda förlägger mig att bry sig om att indexera.
Typ Indexera in i kontrollbordsökandet eller startmeny boxas sökandet, och du bör se ett kallat objekt att indexera alternativ.
Här kan du se strömmen lista av lägen som indexeras. För anföra som exempel, indexerar jag endast den startmenyn och framtidsutsikten. Om du önskar att ändra eller ta bort lägen, använd ändraen knäppas.
Allt som du måste att göra för att ta bort ett läge från att indexeras, är uncheck boxas. Du styrkan måste att klicka showen som alla lägen knäppas för att se några av standardlägena.
Om du önskade att ta bort startmenyn som indexerar, ska du behov att klicka på startmeny i det summariskt listar längst ner, och det ska navigerar automatiskt till objektet i treen.
Startmenyn som egentligen indexerar, tar inte mycket bearbeta tid though, så jag skulle inte besvär som tar bort det.
Inaktivera fullständigt att indexera
If you’d prefer to completely disable the indexing service, you can disable it entirely by turning off the service.
Open up Services through control panel, or by typing services.msc into the start menu search box. Find “Windows Search” in the list of services and double-click on it to open it.
Change the Startup type of the service to Disabled, and then click the Stop button to stop the service.
At this point the Windows Search service is completely disabled.

I never understood why they didn’t make it easier to stop the indexing for a temporary period of time. At one point a Microsoft employee was making a sidebar gadget to do that, but I don’t think it ever got released.
Thanks for the Indexing articles. You seem to be one of the few writers discussing this Windows feature. When it work, it’s really nice. When it’s thrashing escessively, it’s a brat. Your tips are a help.
One thing I’ve noticed is that after a cold start, Indexing seems to run thru all the files again. But, if I come out of Hibernation, it does not do that. Since Hibernate works well on my computers, that’s what I do.
Also, de-selected Favorites and other folders in Indexing Options reduces drive thrashing a lot. It makes no sense to me for Windows to constantly update favorites while I want my machine’s resources dedicated to surfing, not indexing!
They need to have a timed temporary Indexing disable thing like they did in MSN Desktop Search. I can’t turn off my computer tonight, but I also can’t get a good night’s sleep with this thing clattering away.
By the way, I personally find the Favorites and History indexing really useful. It isn’t indexing the webpages, just the link titles, so I doubt that’s causing any thrashing. In fact, I wish it would index the Favorited webpage content so that I can search through them.
It took me a few months to get fed up enough with the constant clicking before I checked the Resource Monitor to find out what was causing the constant hard drive use. If this were my primary computer, I probably would have checked it sooner, because it does slow down my video/audio editing enough that I’ve wondered if I should just use my old 500 MHz computer. Also, the midnight clicking gets annoying, especially since no windows are open and I didn’t have any clue as to what was causing the hard drive access.
I only use the search function for the Start menu(wait, is it still called that, or is it “the circular button with no words, but does have the Windows logo”) and files in my user folder(I did a search once… the file I was looking for wasn’t indexed, though, so that search was useless).
Thanks for the tip. My box is much quieter, and the hard drive should last a bit longer now that the indexer service is disabled.
Why would Microsoft presume to dedicate so much of our resources to local indexing? I practically never search my own files. If I ever do, I’ll consider starting the indexer…after getting a replacement hard drive ready to go for when the indexer wears out this one.
The thrashing was starting to drive me crazy. I disabled Windows Search but the thrashing goes on. What is it now?
stupid tool as far as i am concerned, was slowing my pc down immensley still dont get the usefulness of the program.
I don remeber how, possibly using TuneUp Utilities, I have disabled Indexing service on my Vista.
I used to do that from the Services window on Windows XP.
that’s the easiest way.
easy to stop this service, go to start/run then type msconfig. Go to startup and find windows search and uncheck it, problem solved!
Stupid searching service was taking up a constant %100 of one of my cpus. I’m glad I could stop it.
You guys aren’t acomplishing much by disabling the service….
Try disabling indexing of your hard drive.
Right click your C drive, choose properties, and disable the bottom checkbox “Index this drive for faster searching”
Then delete your actual index file….this is an option in your Indexing Options in control panel.
The entire Indexing idea is the biggest screw up i’ve ever seen Microsoft do…..ever
Well that and Windows 7 haha
Windows 7 is in fact a screw up ! I agree with the guy above !
Perfect, disabling search indexing fixed the problem. Thanks!
