I'm no expert, but Pogue's "Missing Manual: Mac OS X Second Edition" 
has a bit of information on pages 76 and 86. It appears it's automatic. 
Under "Saving time and space" he suggests going to Finder -> 
Preferences, under "Languages for searching file contents;", click 
"Select", and then you can reduce the number of languages which are 
indexed by default (I just reduced mine down to English), thereby 
speeding up the indexing.
