Disable searchprotocolhost.exe high cpu

I has found that Searchprotocolhost.exe in Windows 7 is running all of the time and uses high cpu or memory, such as using up to 36% of CPU. searchprotocolhost.exe is slowing down my old computer.

what is Searchprotocolhost.exe? It is Windows Search Protocol Host which is created by Microsoft Corporation and located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

How to safely disable searchprotocolhost.exe or stop searchprotocolhost running?

Right-click it
*****
choose properties

click stop.  Change startup type to disable then click apply.
