Hi EW,

Yes, disabling the "Windows Search" service will disable the Index
completely in Vista. They are just different ways of doing it. The
Service disables completely, while the unchecking the drive just
disables that drive from being included in the indexed.

Got a surprise for ya. Disable search service. Now go check the box
on one of your drives/partitions to have it indexed.
