Should I disable Windows Search Indexer for an SSD?

Hello Mike,

Some suggest to disable search indexing -- a feature that makes search work faster, as with an SSD, search is already fast enough. Though with indexing disabled, Windows will have to crawl your entire drive and look inside files -- that still takes some time
and CPU resources. Wherein if indexing is enabled, you can search and almost instantly find any file on your PC. Indexing builds a list of the files on your drive and looks inside your documents so you can perform instant full-text search. SSDs created and
released nowadays isn’t as diminutive or delicate as they used to be.

It would still be best to contact the hardware manufacturer, and ask for their recommendation regarding this.

Hope this somehow answers your query.

All the best.
