Especially as, when I start
Everything from cold after a restart, it _does_ take a few tens of
seconds before filling the search window, so I assume it's doing some
indexing then - but, only for a few tens of seconds, and it does settle
down. I can't think what it could be doing indefinitely, or why it
should start sometime _after_ being started.


I think you've hit upon a big clue. If it's taking tens of seconds to
initially fill the results window, you probably don't have it configured
to start with Windows. In addition to that, I always configure it to run


I don't; the few tens of seconds are not a problem when I want it, and
only need to happen once. Doesn't explain why, after the initial burst
of activity, and it then settling down to 00 CPU (in Task Manager, i. e.
less than 1%) for many minutes, it should somehow go back to 24-25%,
indefinitely.

as a service, but I think not having it start with Windows is the most
likely culprit in your case.


If it _stayed_ at the initial level, sure. But the fact that it stays
more or less dormant after that _then_ takes off makes me doubt that
idea.


You can check those settings in Tools, Options, General.
