Index for Windows Desktop Search
Desktop Search is a Windows function that allows you to find files and folders quickly. It creates a search index
with entries for each file and folder. When you search for something, for example in Windows Explorer or
Outlook, instead of searching the entire hard disk, only the index is searched, making the process much faster.
Depending on the number of files on your hard disk, this index can be quite large and may require lots of
memory.
If you do not use Windows Desktop Search, then by disabling the feature you can not only gain disk space, but
also increase your computer's performance.
