no idea. only thing it shows is as part of the explorer, when it runs, I would have to look deeper than the surface.

But Search can be "turned on and off" via the | Control Panel | Programs and Features | Turn Windows Feature On and Off | , in there it is called "Windows Search". I would try remove, then let it finish, then reboot, then add it back, then reboot again.

Scratch this. mabey Before that, and depending on how I felt, I would get into Services . | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services | and check for the windows search service, and see how it is doing. OOPs, that is off, and the search is still working. that service executable is searchindexer.exe
