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.

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?

Yes.

 

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 software installed, you putz.

"fresh install" usually means nothig but the OS (or if OEM, the crap they put on it).

There's a joke here about ducking if you do, but I can't seem to put it together...
