2015-07-06T14:39:08+00:00 In the last year i've had the same problem with the index. I had to rebuild the index every week to solve the problem. But in the last 2 weeks rebuilding the index doesn't work anymore, it gives me only 5 minutes of idle CPU. PDF files are not the problem in my case. Maybe the latest updates are related? I've disabled the index for now even though i really need it.

Remember they are still trying to restore that start menu and aero effects...
