I tryed useing search to day and got the error "Search Companion: Unexpected Error action cauld not be completed." Dose any one know how to fix this? I have tryed doing Sfc /scannow but that did not work.

If you don't know how to fix it are there any programs that can replace it.

Thanks for any help.

Hey Mate,

Do you get a box that gives you the option to send it to microsoft?

Me and Tony on Hotmail did not fix it (we both use it). I tryed

Click Start , click Run , and then type the following command:
%systemroot%\inf

NOTE : There are no spaces at all in the preceding command line.

Click OK to open the INF folder.
Locate the file Srchasst.inf .
Right-click the file, and then click Install . This will reinstall the files that Search needs to proceed normally.

You will be asked to place your windows XP cd rom in the drive.

But that did not work. I can't think what it is.
