Windows Indexing is used to facilitate faster system searching by indexing the content of files. With this feature, searches can rely on the metadata extracted from the files and saved in the indexing database. In this way, there is no need to interrogate the files each time a search is performed.

Windows relies on indexing data to sort the files when:

• You view the contents of a Windows Library within Windows Explorer.
  And
• Use the Arrange by drop-down function in Windows 7 and later.
