Do you often think about how your computer can quickly return your search query results? On Windows 11/10, a service is running in the background that helps it do so. This service is called as SearchIndexer.exe. It provides content indexing, property caching, and search results for files, e-mail, and other content. So this means that what it does in the background is to keep looking up the locations of different files stored in a computer. Hence, in return, this powers the Windows Search in the Cortana Box, Start Menu, or inside the Windows File Explorer.

Many users complain that SearchIndexer.exe uses a lot of CPU power or displays high disk usage. This eventually slows down the computer’s performance.

Here are a few fixes and suggestions:

1] 1] Restart Windows Search Service

2] Run Search and Indexing Troubleshooter

3] Rebuilding the Index

4] Troubleshooting the issue using the Resource Monitor

5] Use DISM or SFC

6] Tweaking in a new Administrator Account
