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
