How to turn off SSD hard disk indexing service under Windows 8 system

Symptom:

Windows 8 Index is an underlying service in Windows that provides a quick search for files, documents, and emails. In addition to setting up a set of index data on the hard disk when running for the first time, the indexing service will start whenever the file changes or new files are added, which is why many of my friends are complaining that their computers often find hard drive madness. The reason (of course, there are other things that may cause the hard drive to mad).

Reason Analysis:

The benefits of SSD SSDs off Windows 8 index are obvious: SSD SSDs are fast but have a much lower lifespan, generally only 6000~10000 full writes (mechanical hard drives) Probably for 100,000 hours of continuous work). So if you don't have a lot of searches, you can turn off the index and let the system search temporarily. This can greatly extend the life of the solid state drive. With the high random read performance of SSD hard drives, temporary search is not much slower than indexing, but it is good for SSD life maintenance.

Solution:

1. Open the Control Panel and select “System and Security” as shown below:

2. Select “Manage in the pop-up window Tools & rdquo;, as shown below:

3. Select “Services  in the Administrative Tools window, as shown below:

4. Select “Windows Search Service in the Services window” Disable it and set it to disable, as shown below:

Note:

With the above settings, we have disabled the indexing service for Windows 8 systems using SSD solid state drives. Extend the use of SSD solid state drives.

For those who use non-SSD solid state drives, you can also turn off the indexing service, so that the hard drive indicator will not flash for no reason.
