[QUOTE="Sherman Homan, post: 293375, member: 22094"] Indexing is not a necessary task, it does not defrag, optimize or perform any maintenance chore. It merely looks inside of files so that you can search for words in a document, not just search for the name of a document. For example, if you used the word "supercalifragalistic" in a document named "document00025" you might not be able to easily find that document on your drive. But if indexing was turned on you sure could find that word! [/QUOTE]
