A few weeks ago i needed to kill the app because it was sapping up all of my bandwidth as i have ridiculously slow internet and ending task wouldnt keep it from doing so as it would just always restart itself. So i found a solution from another thread:

I followed the instructions from a reply from a member named David_167 (about 1/3 of the way down the page) and it successfully killed the task, however now my issue is that fiber was brought to my area and i no longer worry about bandwidth issues, and with what i did to kill and move searchapp i no longer can use any search function in windows or explorer and it bothers the heck out of me. Restarting my pc did not solve the issue my pc is in an eternal state of not being able to search local files or any such thing. I have way too many things to back up and put back on my pc so i would rather not have to reinstall windows if at all possible. If anyone can tell me how to restore or move back and unkill the searchapp file (aka undo what i did from the thread and person i linked) i would be extremely greatful. I have checked the other pages of that thread and unless i missed something i don't seem to see anyone say how to reverse it either so i figured my last ditch effort would be to make a new thread asking if anyone knows since google also wasn't much help for me.
