fast searching/indexing service

As I am now using WDS 2.6, do I still need to have fast searching/indexing service enabled?

If not, how do I disable Indexing Service and does it maintain a file somewhere that could be deleted to free up disk space?

Hello seprice,

I assume you are referencing the fast search/indexing service that runs in the background on Windows XP. Is that correct? If so, you should not need to stop the service as it is depricated by Windows Desktop Search.

I'm a little unclear on which indexing service you are talking about so if you could let me know your Operating System I would much appreciate it.

Thanks,

yes, I am referring to the XP Indexing Service that is optional. I searched for a while and found some MS documentation that showed how to turn it off. Thanks. I think I'm OK for now.
