Yes but indexing isn't the sidebar which is using the most memory. Why
would
it start using more and more memory the longer my computer is on other
than
if there was a memory leak?

Have you checked to see if when you have the higher Memory being used
if
you also have high paging file activity?
If there is not a lot of paging file activity then your system still
has a
lot of unused memory.

Ok i did some research. After two days I found that sidebar.exe was
using
nearly 176Mb and svhost.exe was using 160Mb. What should I do or
cantact
about this?

the RAM
usage went back to about 25% where it normally is. Has anyone else
had
this
problem?

Because windows goes around and tries to fill memory with things you might
want.

I googled for svhost.exe and found this link which may explain the
problem:

He hasn't said a single thing that would indicate a problem.

On Desktops windows tries to use all memory but 4 MB. It leaves 4 MB free in
case you want to start a new app so it can start it quickly.
