NU bug: Win 7 search disabled after 1-click optimization

For some time now on my Win 7 system NU disables Windows Search capability after running 1-Click Optimization. There seems to be no way to configure NU to stop this very annoying bug. I gather that others have experienced this problem, and I gather too that Symantec are unable or unwilling to fix it.

If somebody has a workaround fix, or if Symantec would care to explain why they allow this bug to persist, I'm all eyes.
