Before complicating things by trying to fix that problem, have you considered maybe using a third party program that can be even better then Windows's indexing service?
Try out the Everything Search Engine by voidtools. Download it HERE. It runs much faster than the indexing service does, and it doesn't run all the time so your computer will not be slowed down.

I did download Search Everything and it works fine, thank you very much. Also, I am wanting to search for words and phrases that occur WITHIN files. This service does not provide this. I have another computer, a laptop that runs Vista, that does this very efficiently. So I guess I could convert my main, desktop computer to Vista to get this service, or---? Any way to do it within Windows XP?

I just ran a quick google search and came up with this: http://www.monkeyjob.com/FileMonk.html
It says HERE that it can do what you describe, but I've never used it so I don't know how well it does its job.
