[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1003614, member: 101749"] In a nutshell to my knowledge is its basically doing just that. Indexing ... Its is sorting through every document, webserch, file and folder and indexing them so when you do a search through spotlight, it comes up with the quickest and most appropriate answer for you. Its basically sorting out a dictionary and putting everything in order to get the quickest results. Dictionary [B]index |ˈinˌdeks| noun ( pl. -dexes or esp. in technical use -dices |-dəˌsēz|) 1 an alphabetical list of names, subjects, etc., with references to the places where they occur, typically found at the end of a book. • an alphabetical list by title, subject, author, or other category of a collection of books or documents, e.g., in a library. • Computing a set of items each of which specifies one of the records of a file and contains information about its address.[/B] I use MainMenu to do a system clean and uncheck Indexing Spotlight. It isnt necessary but if i need to use the system after i have done my clean i dont need to wait 10mins for it to index everything, as everything i do spotlight index's on the go Hope it helps some :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
