indexing service catalog content vanishes
I have set up a catalog in the indexing service for the "My Documents"
folder; it is the only catalog. When I first set it up, it indexes the files, and the Search facility works properly (finds words within files). After a few shutdown/startups, Search stops working (Indicates there are no files containing the searced words), and when I use Computer Management to check the catalog, it shows 0 documents indexed. So, somehow, it appears the contents of the catalog are vanishing, and the only way to repair it is to do a manual rescan, or delete the catalog and start over. Any ideas why this is happening, and what can be done to fix it? Thanks in advance.

indexing service catalog content vanishes
Indexing service is set to Automatic Start, and the services item in
Management Console indicates it is running. I should also mention this is XP Home Ed. with SP2.
