Windows search service 10023

Thanks for coming to help.

Here are the answers:

1. What OS version?

Just as on the left column of the post: Simple Windows 7

2. RTM or SP1?

RTM no SP yet

3. x86 or x64?

x64

4. Any warnings or errors in Event Viewer?

No, except that today I started having errors about a missing driver for a USB bluetooth device. I have the driver to fix it and I don’t know why it went away. The search issue happened over a week before this.

5. What size volume is this occuring on?

1TB with two partitions, none being the Win7 system. One of the 2 partitions is 40GB has XP, which I seldom use. There is no boot menu, I use BIOS menu and both OSs were installed with the other disks unplugged to keep it clean.

6. Using RAID or JBOD?

This is a SATA II directly connected to the board. However, Win7 system disk (120GB) and another one (60GB), none with this search issue, are IDE on an PCI adapter. No RAID, all independent. All NTFS

7. What file system is on this volume?

All NTFS, normal, nothing special

What I can’t understand is why this happens on one drive only.

Edit:

Problem with driver solved. The good and signed manufacturer’s driver must have been replaced by some Windows Update rubbish. It is Broadcom’s, which has one of the best systems because the driver installer downloads the latest driver itself before installing and does everything automatically.

The search issue remains and appeared before this.

About the Events logs When I looked up it was full with the USB bluetoth errors, so I didn’t find the search events. Now I could see them. They are below.

٭These are not single Warning and Error logs because both keep repeating every few minutes.

Thank you

Edited:

The 60GB drive is rather 80GB. It was a typo.

Attention Before you read this post, I highly recommend you check out my resources page for access to the tools and services I use to not only maintain my system but also fix all my computer errors, by clicking here!

The Microsoft Windows Search Indexer is a component of Windows that indexes in excess of 300 common file types. The purpose of this component is to speed up the process of locating and finding files and documents making Windows Search quicker and more efficient. Every time the user adds a new file or document to their operating system, the index is automatically updated. The Windows Search Indexer must be kept up-to-date as it’s crucial to the accessibility of Windows files.

It’s not uncommon for the Indexer to be accidently erased or a user to attempt to access the Indexer only to receive one of a number of error messages associated with the Windows Search Indexer. When a user encounters a problem with this specific Windows component, there are many steps that he/she can do to rectify it, all of which I intend to cover in this tutorial.

Indexed Content

The Windows Search Indexer is designed to look for data in locations such as the Start menu, home folder, contact lists etc. Because the Indexer has the ability to index the properties of a file, this allows the user to search on specific text within a document or message with the Windows Search feature locating the associated files. Whenever you use Windows Search, the operating system automatically checks the index for the content that you have requested; this is done before searching the hard drive in its entirety. This allows the user to locate searched files almost instantly.

Windows Versions

Initially, Microsoft released a version of Windows Search Indexer for Windows XP, 2000 and Windows Server 2003 in the form of a downloadable add-on. In later versions such as Windows Vista/7/8, Microsoft integrated the Search Indexer into them, and made them active by default. If you’re still running a Windows XP based system, then you can and should download the Indexer from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=23

Common Performance Problems

In order avoid clogging up system resources; the Windows Search Indexer is designed to scan your system for new files and documents (which it adds to the index) during times when the computer is least active. However, if the Indexer is configured to index data from a large number of locations on your computer or to index files and documents in their entirety (rather than just their filename), then you may experience some performance issues.

By reducing the amount of content that the Search indexer keeps tabs on, you can actually fix this common problem. It’s also possible for you to disable the Search Indexer altogether. However, this is not a recommended option, as it will adversely affect the speed in which the operating system completes a search.

Location of Windows Search Indexer

By default, you should be able to find the Windows Search Index in the following location:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search

However, it is possible for you to alter its location, by accessing the components options and making the necessary changes.

Configuring the Windows Search Index

It’s possible for you to configure the Indexer to suit your own personal requirements. To do that, simply do the following:

1. First, boot into your computer with full administrative rights.

2. Then press + R, type Control Panel and click on OK.

3. In the Search Control Panel box, type Indexing Options, and then click on Indexing Options.

You will be able to see and change the various locations on the operating system that are being indexed. You can also, at any point in time pause the indexer for 15 minutes. Additionally, the advanced button, offers a wide range of complex options.

Fixing the Errors

If you attempted to open the Indexer and came unstuck due to a problem, or maybe you had problems using Windows Search, there are many things you can do to fix the problem; to follow are a number of the most effective and common methods of repairing any Indexer-related errors.

When first experiencing problems with the Indexer there are several options available to you. However, of these options the best thing you can do is run the antimalware tool called Spyhunter.

This tool has the capabilities of not only cleaning your computer of viruses, but also of repairing the damage done to the integrity of your operating system, restoring features and functions that previously were not working.

Anyway, you can get a hold of this powerful tool from here:

Repair Windows

If you are unable to get the Windows Search Indexer to work, after attempting the solution above, then you should consider a repair installation of Windows.

When it comes to repairing the operating system using Windows built-in features, you have two options, the first is a reset, which is unlikely to fix the problem and the second is a total revamp of your hard drive, deleting all your personal data in the process.

For step by step instructions on how to carry out these two particular methods (depending on your Windows version), I suggest you visit my post on CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED problems.

However, there is a third party solution available to you in the form of Reimage, which is a Windows Repair tool, this tool will not only repair your operating system, but also do it on the fly, saving all your personal data in the process and fixing all your errors.

Anyway, for more information on this powerful tool, visit the following link:

Use Troubleshooter

When experiencing problems with the Search Indexer, the first thing that you should always do is use the troubleshooter. Issues such as an incorrect or corrupted search index, slow search performance and incomplete search results can very easily be resolved with this tool. Anyway, to access this tool, simply do the following:

1. First, load up the Indexing Options by following steps 1 – 3 of Configuring the Windows Search Index.

2. Once Indexing Options has loaded up, click on Troubleshoot search and indexing.

3. The Search and Indexing troubleshoot applet will pop up, asking you What problems do you notice, check the box next to all that apply and click on Next.
