    Good morning CP, I turned "search" off a long time ago for the reasons you've indicated, performance and ssd activity, don't miss it at all.

    "Ditto"

    I don't miss windows search. I use an alternative search tool that doesn't require installation. It's insanely fast! I do have another third party search tool installed for when I need to run a filter on searches.

    Considering my laptop stays stored in a drawer most of the time (I mostly use it just on trips), it's even less of a worry for me (I recently put a 500GB SSD in it). The data in it is fairly static.
    Well yes, but not to offend you or anything, you are not the only SSD user and some people can only afford or choose to use a laptop as their primary computing source. But you are correct in your assumption that most of the regulars here do the SSD-OS, HDD-data thing, so I guess maybe I should look into a laptop forum to pitch my idea :) Thank you for bringing that to my attention, have a good day :):)
    If I offended you, I profusely apologize; it certainly wasn't my intention.

    I'm not putting down your idea; I'm just saying it's not applicable for me.
    Offend me, come on :) It would take a very large tank with like....rockets and stuff to offend me. /hugs:)
