Service "windows search" is hidden. HELP![SOLVED]

I disabled the "windows search" service in computer management and when I got back to the services TAB, the service disappeared. Is there any way to re - enable this service?

That should start it again.

You should also be able to start it from Services.

Scroll down to Windows Search, right click on it and select Start.

I have an idea that command will not work?

I would first try the Control Panel - "Programs and features" - "Turn Windows Feaures on or off" (over on the left)
Scroll down almost to the bottom and make sure you have Windows search ticked. If not, do so and restart your computer.
