I've been waiting about a week. 0 items are indexed, I've tried turning the
service on and off, searched KB.

Any help? Thanks.
 
Or, the simple way: go to "Indexing Options" in the "Control Panel"; click
"Advanced" and then click "Restore Defaults." Select the affirmative
response to any prompts. Restart your computer.
 
I know, I had the same problem. You have to options, one is to "Rebuild" and
the other is to "Restore Defaults." Rebuild freezes it, but restore is
designed to fix this problem + most people can figure out how to do it. I'm
not saying your solution is a bad idea, but why reinvent the wheel and make
it overly complicated if the simpler solution works. Sorry if I hit a nerve.
