Searchfilterhost process

Solved

Hello,
For the past few days, the process "searchfilterhost" has frequently been using about 30% of the CPU resources (according to SpeedFan); I am wondering if some malware might be hidden. I have used "mbam" and found nothing. "AdwCleaner" revealed nothing. "MSE" found nothing. I cleaned the registry with "CCleaner." Previously, when idle, the PC used a maximum of 1% of the CPU. I hesitated to post this message in the security section! If anyone could help me find answers, I would be very grateful.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 23.0

I have the answer: you need to disable file indexing; in "services," disable Windows Search. (if this can help someone!) Best regards.

I think it's important to understand the role of this indexing before disabling it. When you add files and folders, Windows will index them to find them more quickly when you search for them.
If you have just imported your collection of books, photos, videos [...] onto your PC, it's better to let Windows work for a few minutes to index everything rather than disabling it all.

Indeed, it is a background operation that can consume quite a bit of resources on older PCs, but think carefully before disabling the indexing service: Am I not going to be frustrated with this computer when it takes 25 minutes to find a file on my hard drive?
