Steps To Disable Search Indexing Option In Windows 7

Windows 7, launched by Microsoft as a successor to Vista is regarded as the second most user-friendly OS after XP. In fact, after the termination of support for Windows XP by Microsoft, Windows 7 remains to be the most popular OS with a user share of almost 50 percent among all Windows users.

The best part about using Windows 7 is that it is advanced than its previous versions and at the same time, it is also quite simple to use unlike its successors. Well, if you encounter any issue in your Windows computer, you can call up OmniTech support anytime to get the best assistance in quick time. Also, you can refer to the OmniTech guides to get more information on fixing the Windows 7 issues yourself.

Windows 7 also has a built-in search feature that is way too better when you compare it with the one available in Windows XP. The Search Indexer option in Windows 7 indexes the most common locations by default where the files in the computer would be stored. This includes the libraries, User folders as well as the emails.

You can also completely disable the search indexing feature in Windows 7 and set the feature to manual. For this, you’d need to use the following instructions provided in the OmniTech guides:
  • In the first step, you need to right click on the Computer Icon in the desktop and then choose the Manage option. Now, you need to click on Services and Applications, which you can find in the Computer Management window. 
  • Next, click on Services and then you’d see a lot of services listed there. From among this available list of options, search for the Windows Search option. Meanwhile, you can also contact the OmniTech support team at any point of time to get more information on the Windows 7 features. 
  • Once you find it, right click on Windows Search from this list and then select the Properties option. This would open the Windows Search Properties Window. Now, move onto the Startup type option and then click on the drop down menu followed by Disabled. 
  • Once you’ve chosen the option, click on Apply and then OK to confirm it. 
By following these steps, you can successfully disable the search indexing feature in your Windows 7 system. To get more assistance on the same, you may also call up the OmniTech support service.
