This is useful if you want some locations of a folder to be indexed but not others. You may also exclude subfolders from indexation. When you remove a location from Windows Search indexing, Windows Search won't scan it anymore when it runs scans for changes in those locations. This allows you to remove it with just two clicks. Since you may not want to navigate the top folder structure to locate all indexed locations, you may click on a location in the lower pane to jump straight to it. You add new locations by checking boxes in front of items in the top pane, and remove existing ones by removing the checkmarks from the boxes. Tip: Make sure you click on the "show all locations" button to reveal locations that may not be shown by default. This opens a dual-pane window that lists all available locations in the top pane, and all folders selected for indexation at the bottom. Select Modify at the bottom to manage the indexing locations.

Additionally, file and folders may get deleted regularly as well which means that indexing has a lot of work to do to process that folder.
