Windows Search

Windows 7 Service Details

Description:

Windows Indexing service renamed, plus some other features most likely. If you do a lot of searches keep it, but I imagine it's rather heavy to keep such a big index. Uses a fair bit of resources. Search has been integrated into the desktop more fully, so you may find yourself using this more often than not.


Service Description:

Provides content indexing, property caching, and search results for files, e-mail, and other content.


Consequences of Stopping:

Without this, Explorer will have to fall back to its slow search. It will still search though.
All services listed in 'Required For' will be unable to function


Depends on:

DCOM Server Process Launcher, Remote Procedure Call (RPC)


Required for:


None
