I also asked if it was running when you installed WinXP SP3, I believe.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than
Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these
applications running in the background when you installed WinXP SP3 or
Windows Search 4?

Every now and then Windows Search 4.0 restore indexing locations. That is
happened many times, and I am starting to be a little bit fed up. I have
added some folders I like to keep indexed, and it will keep those folders
indexed some time. But today again I noticed that indexing locations are
restored to original and my folders are not indexed. :(

Is this known bug or can I do something about it?

This is with Windows XP Pro SP3
