I have a new FoxConn MB with an AMD Phenom 9950 Quad-Core CPU and 4-Gig of RAM.
However, even this system slows down when something called "searchprotocolhost" starts running.
That service will use 50% of the CPU and over 1-Gig of RAM when it starts.
So, what is this "service"? And, how do I turn it off?
No wonder people complain about Vista slowdowns. -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

it is the search indexer....
you can manage what folders are indexed by the search icon in the control panel (classic view)
Remove all but the startmenu and if you use outlook (if you want my opinion)
otherwise you can wait until the index finishes.. but I don’t like vista indexing everything

Thanks for the info. I don't see why I would need to have Outlook emails indexed anyway. -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

The Absurdity of Religion
Why is it that if I claim that the keyboard, I'm typing this on, regularly turns into green cheese from the planet Krypton, then everyone will call me insane, but if someone claims that the bread they are eating and the wine they are drinking are turning into the flesh and blood of a guy born of a virgin, who is his own father, and who rose from the dead 2000 years ago, then he's called a Catholic and should be respected for his faith?
When an absurd belief is labelled religious, then it suddenly isn't considered absurd any more. This seems pretty weird to me, and let's face it, most religions are based on beliefs that really are silly. A typical example of this is the story of the Ten Commandments.
In this story God calls Moses to Mount Sinai to give him the divine will about human conduct. God then lets Moses walk up the mountain, down again and up once more, before giving him the Ten Commandments. Afterwards the tablets with the commandments are broken, and Moses must ascend the mountain yet again, to get a new copy. Now imagine yourself in Moses' place. You have climbed three times to the top a tall mountain enshrouded in clouds and lightning to receive the divine guidance of the almighty God, and then it turns out that he can't remember his own commandments and therefore makes up some completely new ones, while claiming that they are exactly the same. And to make matters worse the tenth commandment is "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk" (Exo 23:19). That is the guidance that God in his infinite wisdom wants to give us? We can't cook a goat in the milk of its mother?
Can anyone really look me in the eyes and with a straight face say that this story wouldn't be considered plain silly, if it wasn't a religious story? In my opinion it could have been taken straight out of a Monty Python sketch.
Of course being silly or absurd doesn't rule out existence, but it doesn't seem to be likely attributes of a being with infinite wisdom.
Why Haven't We Seen Any Gods?
If any gods really exist why haven't we seen any of them? If they really want us to worship them, why should they want to hide from us? I know that this is no definite proof against the existence of gods, but it should give anyone pause that religions have existed for thousands of years and a huge number of people have done their best to discover gods or prove their existence, and as far as I have been able to find out, we still have no real evidence.
If it were anything other than religion we were talking about, wouldn't you have given up if such a search had failed to find any evidence? I know I would, and I don't see any reason to make religion a special case.

have in mind that the indexing locations have to be hunted down to be really removed!!!
To see what I mean, see this small video I made for you here

This is for Homer.
You have either a really obscure or confused way of viewing things. This point of view is about religion, which is not what I am asking about.
However, I am secure in my Faith in Jehovah.
Please try to stay focused on the topic of Vista Search functions.
Thanks -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

Thanks.
However, the Administrative Services is the first place I looked. Vista does not list Indexing as a Service, like XP did.
As CBoom posted, "Search" now has its own Icon, in Classic View, on Control Panel. It is a pretty powerful little application.

For CBoom,
That video was pretty slick. Jing looks like something I could use for my customer training, after I learn a little more about Vista.
I went to your Blog. You have some straight-to-the-heart information. A lot of others only use the Blog as a lead in to sell their services. I tried a blog and all I got was a hacker, who tried to use it for Spamming. -- Life is an adventure with God leading.
