• When you use Windows Search error SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  When you are using Windows XP (SP3) running Windows Search (4.0), I get the error message:

  SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  The instruction at "0x0af609c" referenced memory at "0 x 00000014. The memory could not be "read".

  Click OK to terminate the program

  I do nothing especially when this happens and the disabling or uninstalling this feature is not an option that I and some of the programs that I use it. She repeats every few minutes, but I'm pretty sure it's because the application restarts whenever you "Finish". I also tried to reinstall it but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help.

  These errors appear when the index database is corrupted, for example during the crash, etc. The solution is, except disabling or removing the search service, reconstruction of the index. Just reinstall will not solve the problem, because that does not remove the corrupted index.

  On XP Pro:

  (1) start 'services.msc' and find Windows Search stop.

  My personal advice: check user accounts all records and make sure that the "Application Data" and "Local Settings" directories have their attribute 'Index summary' unchecked, including all files and subfolders. You can avoid many possible future performance issues.

  2) go to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft and delete the entire directory "Search" (or just rename / move elsewhere).

  (3) close the session log. Index will rebuild, it may take some time, depending on the amount of documents, music, etc. you have. So be patient with harddisk increased temporary activity. Normally it works with a low priority.

  On Vista/7 Search index is located in \ProgramData\Microsoft, otherwise,'s done it the same way. Unfortunately, I do not know how to avoid the real alteration. XP seems more inclined to him.

• Windows Search

  Today I deleted from my computer, Windows Search as the magnifying glass has arrived without notice a couple of weeks, when I've updated windows.  He has been looking for index automatically, and even when I put it on snooze, my computer ran much more slowly.  I rarely search for files on my computer, until you feel that it will not be a problem.  What do you think?

  I would say keep uninstalled Windows Search and pay attention in the future MS updates when they are available and if you are offered once again, Windows Search decline and check the box that says do not provide to you once again.

  Everything simply because MS offers an update, does not mean that you must install it.

  Never accept an update hardware driver of MS - they do not know what are the best drivers for your system.

  I would always accept security updates.

  WS is a Devourer of CPU and memory known and will slow down your system.  If someone complains that their system is running slow, it's one of the questions, I learned from Daavee to ask (I have someone ask this question almost every day):

  Do you have the Windows Desktop Search installed issue?

  If one day you decide you want, or want to try it again you can just install it manually.

  That's what I think.

• Compact check count in OE incremented by windows search

  My system is Windows XP Pro SP3 and OE 6.

  Have a problem for a long time with County check compact in OE being incremented by mistake/over flowed by 'WindowsSearch.exe' and 'SearchProtocolHost.exe.

  Just wanted to remove Windows Search but I'm a bit using Windows Exlorer and don't know how to remove WinSearch would affect WinExplorer?

  When I look at WinSearch/Help/about... it just says: "Windows Version 5.1... So I don't know even what version of WinSearch I actually?

  Short hacking apart the entire system and using other programs (package) is a solution worth spending time with without affecting other programs?

  Thanks for your precious help.

  Hi Bruce,.

  Thank you very much for the tip. While this was not working exactly as I expected (the path through the control panel > Indexing Options > change it has not resolved), I had to open the OE of WinExplorer folder > properties > advanced and disabled the indexing box it. Who have stopped the problem.

  After I followed your instructions, I do not restart the machine, so I'm not sure if he would have took the action or not. But the indexing in the OE folder checkbox was not absolutely unchecked.

  It is very interesting, I have a second machine running the exact same software that does not provide the "Indexing Options" icon in the control panel. I had to get laboriuosly through all records for OE stuff where I could change indexing individually "properties > Legeneralonglet > advanced > uncheck indexing."

  I consider this issue resolved.

  Thanks again and with regard to the best

• Windows Search find files but the mistakes of some of them, which are open normally when it is accessed to follow the path of the error opening

  My client uses Windows Search to help track the files in a fairly large groups. Indexing and everything seem to work very well, but when the user performs a search, it returns the information that are expected, but when you click on some of the files that it generates this error:

  "Cannot find 'file:///s:/XXXXX/XXXXXX.pdf'. "Make sure that Internet address or pat is correct.

  (where XXXX/XXXX are the path and name, of course. It varies and is not a specific place, or all in the same places is originally the same error)

  Varies depending on the issue and the only consistency I've found is than that error all tend to share the same name of 'Owner' and those who work divides different. Yet once again, the 'owners' vary. When browsing directly on the elements, following the exact path in error, the files open fine. In our case, 's:' is a mapped network share, but which seem to be the question either, as the other files in the search located on the same mapped share and in the same directory path work very well.

  To make it even more confusing, the search of all works perfectly on another computer. All users have the same access right, reading/writing/execution, in the cases in question. The file doesn't seem to be open and in-use by other users.

  The system in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and is connected to a domain active directory running Windows Server 2003. We have tried to do, and it did not help.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance for anything that can help you!

• Windows search Windows failed to start the service on the Local computer

  OK, so it's a big, dirty and convoluted issue, so please bear with me. Any help is greatly appreciated! I start tearing my hair out on this one...

  I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
  UAC is set to the lowest level 2

  The other day I have problems with the search box in the start bar. It is more was to find excel or other office applications and also he wouldn't orders base as cmd or Notepad. Whenever I run a command it returns an error like this (not exact because I have the exact error message):

  Windows cannot find ': search query = cmd'
  
  I searched a little and tried to rebuild the index in Control Panel > Indexing Options. It does not work so I uninstalled Windows Search and reinstalled. What I found now, is that the indexing service would not start and if I tried manually start from services.msc I would get the following error:

  Windows search Windows failed to start the service on the Local computer
  Error 161: the specified path is not valid

  The event log showed me this Application error:

  Cannot initialize the Gatherer service.

  Details:

  The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or inaccessible. Free space on the drive or verify that you have permission write to the Temp folder. (HRESULT: 0 X 80070660) (0 x 80070660)
  

  Help!

  Thanks Samhrutha.
  Your proposed solution of editing the registry is the only solution I found to this day and still work.
  The only drawback that I want to emphasize is that this fix causes completely reset to its default settings of windows search.  Customizations to search what have been done by the user (e.g., windows search indexing user customizations options) will be lost.

  I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and occasionally experienced the same error message ( windows cannot find ': search query = XXX ", where XXX corresponds to my search query) try to search through windows when start menu search box.

  Only recently, however, discovered one other cause possible/fix to this problem.
  Specifically, I discovered that the error of windows search resulting from the ADDITION of a NETWORK LOCATION on the local computer (for example, via the menu option "Add a network location" that appears when you click the file menu in a window of windows Explorer displays the contents of the local computer (corresponding to the "COMPUTER" icon). The CENTER of my computer SYNC settings have been defined to disable the synchronization of network or file 'offline' and I suspect that this setting is also part the cause of the error of research.

  To resolve this problem, simply tell windows search not to include the 'network' location in the search index.  To do this, one needs to access the settings of the windows search INDEX LOCATIONS (via Indexing Options-> change), then uncheck the box next to the network location (which on my computer starts as follows: oneindex: / / {s-1-5-21...)

  After unchecking this box, click on the OK button and then CLOSE the button to exit the Options of Index window.  After that the error message should hopefully not return.  If so, try restarting the computer and research to test again.

  Hope this helps!

  :)

• Windows search feature does not at all.

  Hello

  I've seen many threads similar to this problem, but not the same and after five hours or so of research, I have not found a solution.

  I am running Windows 7 Professional on a HP EliteOne 800 all-in-one PC.  I noticed today that the search feature in the start menu does not work.  If I type something, the start menu is completely empty.  If I click on "See more results", I am greeted by a reading of text box "search query: = [value]" where [value] is what I'm looking for.  For the sake of ease, I searched on cmd.  The body of the box text reads as follows: "Windows cannot find ': search query = cmd'.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. "If I open Windows Explorer and try to pick up from there, yet again, nothing happens, there is absolutely no answer.  It is true that I am to research libraries, a drive or a folder.

  By other threads, I've tried so far running an official fix from Microsoft, I tried to launch the resolution of the problems of indexing tool, disable Windows Search via the control panel > programs and then turn it back on with reboots in the meantime, tried a restore of the system and so far no change.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
