WHAT????!

No, Sherlock is NOT the Internet. Prior to Sherlock3, Sherlock was a 
single program that could find things on both your hard drive AND on 
the internet, depending on which you chose. You are probably running 
Sherlock2, and that is what is "indexing" your drive. The purpose of 
this is to allow you the benefit of searching for files by their 
CONTENT rather than just their name. It's handy if you're the sort of 
person who can't keep track of filenames.

If you'd rather Sherlock not do this, simply open Sherlock2, and change 
the preferences regarding indexing. It's been a while since I used 
Sherlock 2 so I'm sorry I can't be more precise, but IIRC it was under 
the "Advanced" tab? Maybe?
