I do not believe that you can uninstall it.

I tried that by going through the normal Control Paner uninstall routine and it still runs but keeps poping up run errors.

The real problem is the search indexing .EXE.

I commented it out and the performance of my Dell Laptop went up immediately.

 

here is what I did:

1. Open Task Manager and expand

2. Click on Mem Usage to see who / what is hogging up memory

3. searchindexer.exe was at the top on my list

4. Close Taskmanager

5. Open Windows Search (yeah, I know but click to use the old version and close the new (crappy) version

6. Do a search for "searchindexer"

7. I had several hits but selected the actual application

8. Select it in the list and right click and choose rename

9. Insert a "!" and a space at the front of the file name

10. Close search

11. Cold re-boot your machine

Now the searchindexer will not load and run and your maching peformance should increase.
