    We have the same exact issue as referred in the following thread.

    We stopped crawling under Shared Services Administration: SharedServices2 > Search Settings > Content Sources and selected one of the existing content sources .  But still it is showing "stopping " status. All the options are also disabled except "Edit" and "View Crawl Log". We are interested only in stopping the crawling of a particular "Content source" which we tried to stop. I am gussing "Stsadm-o spsearch-action fullcrawlstop " would stop crawling of all content sources.
     
    Note: "Windows SharePoint Services Help Search" is running. We also rebooted the server.
