Hi jackierae,
1. what changes were mde on your computer before the problem?
2. don't you also get an error with the message code?
I would like you to do the following to check if the problem persists.
Step 1:
Check that the search service Windows is started and set to automatic.
a. go to start > Control Panel
b. Administrative Services > Services and scroll to Windows Search and double click it.
c. make sure that it is set to automatic
Step 2:
I would have you run SFC scan to check whether the problem is related to the missing or corrupted system file.

Every time I have open internet explorer, I get the error message that the research protocol has encountered a problem.
It occurs intermittently. MS error report indicates a problem with searchprotocolhost.exe
How can I fix?: Anyone know?
My recommendation, you use Windows XP, uninstall the Windows Desktop Search and never install it again.
Option 1: In Add/Remove programs with the box checked next to 'Show updates' above checked locate "Windows Desktop Search 4.0" in the list and uninstall/remove it. "
Option 2: If the above fails, you can use this method to remove...
1. click on Start , type cmd.
2. now, in the result of the research with right-click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
3. type regsvr32 /u "%programfiles%\Windows Desktop Search" and press ENTER.For users of Windows XP for most it does, IMO, is slowing down the system.
