What does the Windows Search service do and do I need it?

I never use it. I believe it pre-indexes everything on your disk drive
for (allegedly) faster searches. But in my opinion it's a waste of
space and CPU time. You can turn of indexing on an entire drive. That
should put a stop to its wastage. Then disable the service entirely
from the service manager. You'll never miss it.
