High Usage of Memory and CPU

Dear community, I need help in fixing high usage of CPU by "Microsoft Windows Search Index" and high usage of CPU by "Search" . I've tried some methods from browsing, but it still won't help to reduce the usage.

For "Microsoft Windows Search Index", I've tried to rebuild the indexing and already finished indexing, but it won't reduce the usage.

Please help me to resolve this, because those two affects my laptop performance and sometimes they stall some of my programs.

Thank you in advance.
