Hello,

First time poster here, hopefully some of you can clear my ignorance.

 

I have installed a win 7 OS without indexing services and now(obviously) I cannot enable it in adding windows features and programs, nor do I have the option of turning it on in services.msc. 

 

Now my question is, is there anyway to add the indexing feature back without reinstalling windows? I have looked on MS and searched here but none have answered my questions. 

 

your help is very appreciated, thanks!

This has been discussed in GREAT detail.

The short of it? No...

ok,  to the reinstall train!

 

thanks for your response!
