    Cannot repair a search index that is corrupt


    I keep getting error codes stating that my search index is corrupt but sfc/scannow and checkdsk says all is OK. This is causing many other error codes and i don't know how to fix it , any ideas

    I have rebuilt the index to no avail.

    Thank you
