Search Not Found
Strangest thing....
Monday, February 20, 2012 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Personal Computing
Hey guys. Anyone ever had a small window that keeps popping up on your desktop saying search not found? If left there, it'll give you multiples.
Fresh install of Win 7.

Ok....I'll guess:
Control Panel/ Programs and Features/ Turn Windows Features on or off - un-check Indexing. Turn off indexing (right click) on all drives (apply to all subfolders and files)
Services/ Windows Search/ Disable.

You running any widgets accessing the internet or running searches?

Yrag, it's a PC I just sold to a friend. No screenshot. I have disabled Windows Search but didn't turn off indexing. I'll do that next.
Gonna be out of town for half the day today. I'll let you know this evening how it goes.
Eve, actually yes, he's running a few of my gadgets. Weather and a clock.

It's probably weather. An invalid location will put up a search not found message box, but it shouldn't be recurring. Which gadget is this?

Quoting RedneckDude, reply 2Yes.
I thought it was your rig with an SSD. How 'bout next time you pay attention to the question.... a fresh install doesn't have other softare installed, you putz.
A weather gadget doesn't install, sweetcheeks.

I did a fresh install, threw a couple of my gadgets on it, sold it. This error happened when I set it up at his house.
Anyway, all fixed now. Thanks guys and gals!
