Boggin:
So I assume you have already been here - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-search-indexer-not-working

Edit - does the cmd dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth do anything for you ?

Boggin:
You've probably been here as well to run the troubleshooter ? - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/fix-repair-broken-windows-search-windows-7-easily

Johnty53:
Yes have done all of that to no avail but.....

Fingers crossed I think I have fixed it  :smiley:
I went into the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WSearch and changed the location of the ImagePath to another folder on my hard drive e.g. C:\WinSearch\SearchIndexer.exe /Embedding and now the indexing is working. The folders inside c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data are now being populated!
I am now able to rebuild the index so everything looks fine, just have to wait for a few hours for that to finish and then report back hopefully to say that the issue is now fixed.
Thanks for your help.

Boggin:
Sorry I wasn't able to help as you had done a lot before coming here, but glad that you have found a solution.

Johnty53:
No problem Boggin, thank you for taking time out to look at it. Everything seems okay now after 3 hours of indexing!
