[EX-70 - v1.8.5.0] [6.1.7601.17514] Broken Windows Search, reason unknown

I'm trying to slim down Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 ISO x64. I turned on "Protect Windows Search", while choosing to remove natural languages, and windows search is broken. 

I suspected that removing natural languages might be the problem, so I made a new preset. This time, I left everything search related untouched. Natural Languages is kept, not removed; same with Indexing Services, Indexing Options in Control Panel, etc... 


Yet, Windows Search is again, still broken. 

Here's my wccf: http://www73.zippyshare.com/v/MYReQM8j/file.html

Any help would be appreciated.

I posted this in the "Help" section a few weeks ago and received no replies, so I had to move it to the bugs section. I still haven't received any replies. Is this because I violated the forum rules? I'm new here so that may happens. In that case, I do apologize for any inconvenience.

hello,

no you didnt vialate any forum rules. winter is online each couple of days and im currently absent to since im moving to a new flat.

as soon as i get some free time i will do some tests.but what i can say, useing win7 x64 proN and switching "Protect Windows Search" to on and windows search is working for me.

I can confirm that this problem continue to exist in the new 1.8.5.0 version. I don't know if this is a bug, or I removed something by mistake. 

Some screenshots (if it helps):

As you can see, when i type into the search box, nothing happens.
