Apparently it's a "directory" of some sort.
But the more important report is that I spoke too soon.
The Valentines Day Windows Update undid some of the clever subterfuge.
I hadn't expected a hundred "SearchApp.exe" threads in the task manager.
But there they are. https://i.postimg.cc/4drfH6ts/clipboard01.jpg
Why are there a hundred searchapp.exe threads doing anything at all?
If the search is properly disabled, why would they be running?
Let me move it so that at least it won't activate all those threads.
Windows+R cmd {control+shift+enter}
cd %Windir%\SystemApps
C:\Windows\SystemApps> move Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy.bck
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
0 dir(s) moved.
C:\Windows\SystemApps> taskkill /f /im SearchApp.exe
SUCCESS: The process "SearchApp.exe" with PID 2384 has been terminated.
C:\Windows\SystemApps> move Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy.bck
1 dir(s) moved.
The move seems to have killed the hundred SearchApp.exe threads (how?).

All that was left are the following threads (processes?).
procexp64.exe 1096 Key HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WSearchIdxPi\Performance
procexp64.exe 1096 Mutant \Sessions\1\BaseNamedObjects\WSearchIdxPi_Perf_Library_Lock_PID_448
explorer.exe 4292 DLL C:\Windows\System32\Windows.Storage.Search.dll
explorer.exe 4292 Key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
explorer.exe 4292 Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A}
explorer.exe 4292 Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\SearchRoots
explorer.exe 4292 Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
The main conundrum is why there were a hundred SearchApp.exe threads?
It seems the only way to stop them, so far anyway, is the original move.
