Indexing ServiceHelper
- cisvc.exe What does it do? The Indexing component calls the Filtering component
to extract the text and values from files that need to be filtered.
After additional processing, it merges the resulting word lists into an
index that is saved to disk. Indexing Service eventually merges content
information (the text within a file) into the master index and saves
value information (properties internal to the file) in the property
cache. Source The
Change-Notification component informs Indexing Service when files have
been altered (added, modified, deleted) to trigger indexing or
re-indexing of the contents and values of changed files. Source. Virus Precautions:
