Windows Desktop Search Snooze Bug

[Guest]

I noticed that clicking "Snooze Indexing" on the context menu on the taskbar
icon, does not work. If I open the "Indexing Status" and select any amount
of time and then "Snooze" then it works, but I noticed that after a few
minutes the indexing starts again even after I selected to snooze for 8
hours. In addition, the "Indexing Status" never wakes up even after 15
minutes pass by if I select for it to snooze for 15 minutes.

I see "searchindexer.exe" taking some pf my CPU cycles and hard disk speed
as I type this even though it is supposedly snoozing. This is a bug right and
not user error?

This program is so buggy, I thought the betas were supposed to prevent me
from finding any problem with v3.01. I usually hate indexing software, but I
decided to give this one a try since I thought Microsoft knows how the OS
works best. Guess I was wrong and I am contemplating uninstalling it, but I
love how fast it can search. Let me see how long before I forgo speed for
accuracy and CPU performance.

In addition, sometimes it turns up no results even though I did an overnight
indexing (Index Now option). I do a normal Search Companion search and
results come up.

I found a workaround for now. Normal users will get aggravated by Windows
Desktop Search's "Snoozing" function.

Run "services.msc" and set the "Windows Search service to "Manual" and then
Click "Stop" on the "General" tab. No more secret indexing! My hard disk is
nice and silent too. I can restart the service when I want to index again.

This is how snoozing should work.
