Windows 7 Search necessary?
The first thing I do when installing Windows 7 is go to services.msc and
disable all Windows search related services. The first time I installed
Windows 7, I also went to remove it from Add / Remove Windows Features and
it gave me a warning which said something like Programs that rely on this
feature will stop working, so I've since decided to ignore it.
However, I don't use it, and even though it doesn't cost me anything to
have that box checked (as far as I know), principle dictates that I should
remove this.
As far as I know, I don't have any programs that rely on it, and I don't
need to search my computer anyway. I put things where they belong, and I
know where to look for them (in the same way I don't need to index my
clothing drawers to find my underwear).
Can anyone confirm whether removing this will in any way, shape, or form
cause problems? And if there were problems, would they be easily
resolvable?
I'm fairly computer savvy (I'm a web developer by profession).
