Enable Global Search and Indexer on or off-other settings ?
I have been reading some old questions on TB forums 0n how to speed up TB. Being old posts can you tell me if these options are now currently advised to be shut off in 2024? Should I turn on or off the setting for "Enable Global Search and Indexer" Should I turn off "windows indexing for the profile folders"?. If so, not sure how to do that. Should I disable the use of the option to "allow windows to search your mail"- if so where is this setting? How to reduce the number of FILES in the TB profile or just ignore this mounting calculation each time I make changes or compress? Thank you.

This is disabled by default.

Thank you Wayne for such a detailed process to check for things..I did find right off the bat that my "enable global search and indexer" was turned on..I shut it off and will try to go thru your suggestions. I have a small size for my profile but each time I do anything, compact, move messages, add/delete folders my number of files continues to rise..was working mostly on that..I have several emails coming into TB and it seems to work well and I have had for many years and just trying to keep it working well. again Thank you.
