After search has had time to completely index your mail, it actually runs
quite well - but it can take some time if you have a large pst.

I installed Office 2007 last night. It prompted me to apply the desktop
search, so I though OK - must be a cool new feature like Google's. It took
my to the web page and I stupidly downloaded it. Well, this AM when I tried
to use my PC everything was soooo slow (even just opening IE). I checked
my Task Manager and saw PF Useage was quite high. Looking at the processes
and adding the Page Fault column, I discovered a couple of the Search Index
service exe's running with high values. I closed out the Search tool in my
sys tray, but they remained running. I tried killing them (End Process)
through Task Manager, but they came back. I decided to uninstall it, so I
went to Add/Remove Programs and located the Windows Desktop Search 3.01.
After opening up Office and getting through a few clunky spots, it's now
running like a champ. My recommendation: Don't install it. And thanks to
whoever posted the nugget on getting rid of the "Click here to enable..."
message. That's a really dumb thing for them put in there.
