Good advice, although I've found that once the indexing has finished, 
from that point on it doesn't affect TB much at all and you do have a 
great search facility.

It took a couple of days to complete indexing my main profile of about 
10 email accounts, although I've heard if you just let it run overnight 
whilst you are asleep that normally does it.
