Windows 10: Does Windows Search service slow down computer?

Should I disable Windows Search service and use third-party solutions like Everything or Listary? Do these options use less resources than Windows Search?

Having some damaged system components is one of the possible causes why the services in the system are failing. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:
