Hello,

Each time I run the rebuilding process for the index it gives me a message
that the Windows Desktop Seacrh Filter has crashed. Everything was working
on my machine, and if I exclude Outlook from the indexing process it keeps
working fine. I am running Outlook 2003 fully patched with Business Contact
Manager Update SP 2.

Thanks for any help.

I have the exact same problem (and also run Outlook 2003 with BCM).
This isn't a fix, but there are two ways to avoid the error messages
until someone posts a "fix." The first you mentioned. Don't open
Outlook while WDS is indexing. Once you open Outlook, it does something
to corrupt the indexing process. However, WDS is always running in the
background, so once you open Outlook, WDS will start generating the
error messages. You can also set WDS preference to not index Outlook at
all. This prevents WDS from indexing Outlook, even after you open it.
The error messages will stop completely, but you don't gain the benefit
of having your Outlook entries being indexed,

I've posted a query on the MSDN Forum for Desktop Search and even found
one of the developer's blog and posted a question there (see
http://brandonlive.com/). The developer's blog mentioned that failing
to reboot after upgrading to WDS 2.6.5 could result in these error
messages. I'm pretty sure I rebooted, but I can't remember with
certainty. Anyway, I haven't seen a fix posted anywhere. I read his
blog to say the final posted version of WDS 2.6.5 fixed this problem,
but I've uninstalled and reinstalled WDS several times (including
building new indexes and reindexing old ones) and can't seem to get rid
of the error messages. There's definitely a bug in the software.

Ditto here... I think it's the BCM part that's causing the issue. I've tried
to look at the details of each crash and i believe it references BCM... I've
excluded BCM from filtering just now, so we'll see if the crash re-occurs.

After excluding BCM - no crash. I guess WDS doesn't like the taste of SQL...
