WINDOWS SEARCH NOT WPRKING

• 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!

• My windows search service is not running. How can I solve this problem?

  My tab search in Microsoft Outlook does not work. When I researched a problem (solution), the response was: Windows Search service not running. I need to get in my box of reception and elements for specific emails and its taking me huge amounts of time to find the emails without the search sent tab.

  Go to Services and activate the service. Or,

  Click on the Forums at the top of this page, go to the forums of office, ask in the Outlook forum.

• Windows could not search for new updates. Code 80072EE2

  First, some background...

  I am running Windows Server 2008 / Hyper-V

  I have a Vista OS guest I have loaded from a base image (vhd)

  I also have a Server 2008 guest OS also loaded from a base image

  These images have not been created on this machine.

  I had guest OS installed since the XP CD but since she departed.

  The machine on which it is all performed has a 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 X 6800 processor.

  8 GB DDR2 RAM

  I've had this problem for several weeks now.  At the beginning I could not the host OS to run updates, it would fail with an error 80072EFE code. This is for several weeks. Finally, while researching this problem I came across an entry mentioning only the BITS required to run so double I checked it. Of course, it was off. I started the service and that fixed the problem with the host operating system and apparently the problems she was having with other sites.

  So I think big is issues with the Vista and the comments of 2008 operating system. No luck, these systems still will not run updates.  The 2008 operating system returns an error "Windows could not search for updates" with a code error 80072EE2

  I tried several solutions to this problem, and at least twice have reloaded the base images because I mucked in the system so much that I lost track of all the changes I had made to the OS.

  I ran these commands...

  regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
  regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
  regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
  regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\dllcache\wucltui.dll
  regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
  regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wups.dll
  regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll

  I also tried the procedure found here...

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-SG/vistawu/thread/6511a332-7de3-4F10-B823-49b6dae86b9c

  Which loads a new "TrustedInstaller.exe" in the folder "C:\windows\Servicing\".

  And on the Vista operating system I also tried this...

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  By clicking on the "Fix It" link.

  It still does not.

  Oddly if that I'm typing this I had rebooted the OS Vista and restart it it notafied me that he was installing updates 1 of 3. However when it finished I tried to check the updates and it gives me the same error "Windows can not find updates" with a code error 80072EE2.

  Someone at - he found an answer to this question. I ask because I'm looking for what I see many people with the same issue.

  Uninstall Uniblue Powersuite.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.  Remove everything it finds.

  Reset.

  This may not fix the result, but it will eliminate what has probably caused (as well as the riders who came with her.)
