    That's another one of those things for which you can easily find arguments for both sides of the question. Do a search on "turn off indexing on ssd drive".
    You can still search the drive but not by contents. Either way, Windows 7's search function sucks so bad that you're better off using a 3rd party program anyway, like totalcommander.
