Re: Search reindexing every reboot

No, tried that. The index reaches completion and then stays quite stable until I have to reboot for any reason. Then it starts reindexing again from scratch.... Don't think it did this pre SP1 but not sure.

I see it counting up again in control panel \ indexing options....

Well, maybe, you're not letting the indexing go to completion because something started rebuilding the index.

When I let the Windows Update update Windows Search with the new 4.0, the indexed had to be rebuilt. I couldn't get the new search to work as it kept saying *failed* to initialize. So, I had to Restore back to a point to remove the update and go back to the old search. I did this a couple of times of trying the new and going back to the old, and the index was being rebuilt each time I did it, which I noticed the indexing activity when I booted the machine.

The last time I did the restore back to the old one and rebooted, I just let the indexing go until it said that it completed. So may be you're booting in the middle of it re-indexing and it's starting over. It does take a long time to re-index, like hours, and you're not giving it the time it needs to complete its task.

Since installing SP1 I find search re-indexing from scratch every reboot. Painful! I do want to keep using Vista search but if I can't figure out how to stop this behavior I'll be reluctantly switching it off. Any ideas?

How do you know that is happening?
