Windows Search 4 just doesn’t work with Windows Home Server. In fact, Windows Search 1-2-3 and now 4, have all been plagued with a host of issues.
Does it work? When will it work? Not in WHS!
Try WD5 beta coming soon!

WDS is also a problematic even running on PC clients! PC performance takes a big hit when using WD4, as the darn thing just doesn’t know when to give it a break. There’s no end user control over the WS4 system tray bar icon to relinquish indexing! The thing just keeps using up CPU cycles, hogging ram memory, lugging along in the background.
Clearly, Microsoft isn’t going to be able to sell this to anyone, and being how it doesn’t work correctly on WHS, nobody is going to want to use it even for free.
Then there is already a better Desktop Search available, it’s called “Copernic Desktop Search”. It works, all the time and is absolutely given away for FREE.
You can download it from here.

Just search the web for all the WHS owners who have error 3090 issues that cripple WHS due to windows search. I’m following the advice to switch off the service and see if that resolves the repeated failures I’m getting.

Hi
Does Windows Search 4.0 play any role in speeding up clients finding files on the server e.g. Media Centers indexing music libraries? Or, does it just help searching for files locally on the server? I’m tempted to disable it as I don’t search for files on my server.
Thanks
