Hi, I've been looking for an answer to this for quite a while now. What does enabling the 'Windows Search service' feature actually do? The 'Windows Search' service is already available when installing a 2019 server from the original media, albeit in disabled state. Enabling the 'Windows Search Service' feature does not enable it though.
The indexing options do only work when I manually enable the 'Windows Search' service (that was already there) and it works perfectly fine whether or not I enable the 'Windows Search Service' feature. Even on remote machines with a mapping to that drive.
So basically my question is, what does the 'Windows Search Service' feature actually install or do opposed to the already available 'Windows Search' service?
btw. is anyone else thinking this new QA forum is utter garbage compared to the Technet forums we had before? This tagging system drives me nuts, it just doesn't work well.
