I think that I must have always had search disabled. I don't remember it getting re-enabled, but I did notice that Background Tasks Infrastructure would restart it. I'm teempted to just delete the folder it's in, but I don't understand the details well enough to start weeding systemapps. I haven't heard of deleting services, though I suppose maybe one could just delete the Registry key? I have noticed an odd thing over time. It seems that not all services in the Registry show in the complete list in the Services window. And things sometimes disappear.
