Search not working - Missing "searchindexer.exe"

I installed the TROJAN REMOVER a couple of weeks back and it seems that it scanned and renamed the file "searchindexer.exe" because whenever I try to search something in the outlook or windows, the response is that it is not found although it is there.
Please assist to restore the file as I tried but didnt find out how...

Tks... Hassan

Re: Search not working

Try this and see if there is any changes:

1. Start > Run > services.msc > Enter

2. Find, stop and disable the entry Windows Search.

3. Reboot and see if it resolved the problems.
