Will there ever be a fix for Win10 Search Indexer.

My Event viewer has just said



"The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this
121 time(s)."

What is to be done?

I gave my indexer zero items to index, and
it "indexed 1 file". That's as little
work as you can give it. It's pretty
snappy that way, too. Finished indexing
in a flash.

You can then investigate third party search
tools. There is Voidtools Everything (filenames)
and Agent Ransack (lengthy filename or content
searches, no inverted index).

Have a look in the advanced settings. Pare
down the set of file types it handles. See if
that helps. For example, remove all the tick
marks except .txt and do a rebuild. See if
the rebuild completes. That tells you the
"build" works but some "gatherer" is broken.
Enable file types, until it breaks again.

Do a backup before experimenting, if you don't
want to keep careful notes. I don't expect
putting the settings back is all that easy.

The worst part of the Indexer, is I suspect
some other part(s) of the OS depend on it.
Even if the Indexer is set to zero items,
other parts of the OS may "call for service"
from it, and if you butcher the thing completely,
there could be side effects. So I wouldn't
be in a rush to hack it to bits.

Well, I.m going back to File Locator Pro.

Is there some major upgrade to Win10 due soon?

August 3rd (Anniversary Edition).

However, what is released August 3rd, is going
to be very similar to the 14393 running on
my Test Machine. If there was some important
difference, I can't find it. It's not like they
spent the last year re-writing it.
