searchindexer exe

Every time I try a search I get the error message that the "Searchindexer.exe" has stopped for unknown reasons. Any suggestions for cause or cure?

Not sure the cause, but I know alot of people have this problem.
These steps should allow you to search (altho it will probably be pretty slow):
Step 1) Disable SearchIndexer
- Click Start - Click Control Panel - Click System and Maintenance - Click Administrative Tools - Double-click services - Right-click "Windows Search" and click Properties - Click the Stop button - Click the Startup type dropdown box, and click Disabled - Click OK
Step 2) Change search options
- Go to any explorer window - Click the down arrow next to the magnifying glass in the search box - Click Search Options - Put a check next to "Always search the filesystem even for indexed locations"
If you would like, you can put a check next to Include unknown file types and Include archived files, but enabling these options will make your searches slower.
