From: "Gary Britt" 

I've got a related question for everyone.  Why even use the indexing
service?  In the past with lower horse power machines I always turned it
off because the indexing would slow down response time in the app I was
working in, and because I never found the occasion to use the service to
search for anything.

If the main thing you need to search for is a word document or an email or
email attachment in outlook express, is there any potential benefit to
using the indexing service?  Is there something about using the indexing
service (or at least having it turned on) that will improve hard disk
access or operating system speed/response time?

Thanks,

Gary
