We run Vista home premium on a Dell Dimension E521. Last spring our
system slowed way down--we didn't know why. We backed everything up and
reloaded the system. It worked well for about 2 months. Now the CPU is
running consistently at 100%, and we finally discovered that it is
Searchindexer.exe. We "end process" three times, and it will turn off
each time, but restarts after the first two times. By the third time, it
stays off. In Control Panel= Indexing options, it says "Indexing is not
running" even when Searchindexer is hogging all the memory. Are these
separate activities? How can we disable this annoying memory hog? Just
turn it off totally?

Thanks for any help. I've seen this problem reported in a variety of
forums, but the things suggested so far haven't worked for us.
