Indexing basically builds up a catalogue of what is on your hard disk. When
you want to search your disk to find a file, instead of looking at your
whole disk and searching through it, it looks at the catalogue. It's much,
much faster to do this. Think about Google: when you do a search on Google,
it searches its own private, optimised catalogue, rather than going out and
actually looking at millions of web pages.
Unless you are doing a lot of searching, I'd advise turning it off. I was
fairly sure it was off by default.
