These two services were created to speed up searches thru the hard drive and in Office documents. However, in reality they are only slowing down your system and have questionable impact on the search speed. We recommend these indexing services are disabled. Instead, you can choose to install one of the 3rd party Desktop Search engines that are available for free download.
