I installed Windows Search 4.0 (KB940157) Final Release on my computer.
I use Ccleaner to "clean" my computer.
What happened is, Ccleaner deleted all files & registry entries related to Windows Search's uninstall during a Ccleaner operation.
Now that I want to uninstall it, I can't because there is no uninstaller for it.
I even tried reinstalling it but it just replaces the installation without creating an uninstaller.
Kindly help me.

Simply goto add/remove programs and check the box "show updates" on the top.
now you can find its uninstaller in the list.
uninstall it and reboot.

Like I said in my previous post, Ccleaner deleted the uninstaller for Windows Search 4.0 and even reinstalling didn't create a new uninstaller.
