Choose file indexing service

XP has it's own built-in file indexing service, what it does and why it's not really useful? It does indexing of some text files. The problem is that XP can index only files on certain type, and it do indexing during your work and slows your work. That's why running third-party file indexing service might be a good idea?

XP indexing service

Yes, we can configure it a little. Actually, we can only turn it on or turn is off. As it was released in the very first version of 98 and 2000. Most computer gurus suggest to disable this service to run your computer faster. It's a good advice, and on-the-fly indexing is really resource-consuming. It requires some time (your work time) to convert file to plain text (if it was Word file) and create an keywords tree and add these keywords into index. What's an option? Yes, disable it!

Third-party file indexing service

There are a various third-party file indexing services available. Typically, it's an expensive indexing tool that only rich companies can afford.

Once you feel you have enough files to add to index you should run Index Search Assistant and add these files into index. It's simple and you can control when you waste your time for indexing, as actually it may be some background job time.
