Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / March 2006Search and Index
My searching capabilities do not work at all. When I open the search program from control panel, it says "Waiting for status update..." all the time, and Modify and Advanced are disabled. I think this happened after I enabled two of the options, I think one of them had something to do with 'diacritics'? Is there a registry key I can change or something I can do to get search working again? I would go to the root of the drive and click Add to Index on the Menu Bar and see if it indexes the entire system.

Search is bugged to hell - never worked 100% right with me on any Vista installation since build 5219, but you could try a clean reinstallation and see. Yes, the service is running. I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling search from the Windows Features under programs in the control panel, but didn't help. I just did a fresh reinstall like 2 weeks ago, and as soon as I set that setting, it stopped working. UGH. > Is the Windows Search Engine service running? > > Search is bugged to hell - never worked 100% right with me on any Vista > installation since build 5219, but you could try a clean reinstallation and > see.
