To turn off the search service is simple.
1) Control Panel -> Indexing Options
2) Services -> Windows Search Service -> Disabled / Stop
3) sc stop wsearch [enter[
sc config wsearch start= disabled [enter]
or 4) if they want to disable it via code from their installer so that they can run their privacy invading bloatware instead

strComputer = “.”
Set objWMIService = GetObject(”winmgmts:” _
& “{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\” & strComputer & “\root\cimv2″)

Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
(”Select * from Win32_Service Where DisplayName = ‘Windows Search’”)

For Each objService in colListOfServices
objService.StopService
errReturnCode = objService.ChangeStartMode(”Disabled”)
Next

some great commentary here
