You didn't say what OS you're using so I'll assume it's OSX. You need to go to Finder > Preferences and click on the advanced pane. From there, click on "languages for searching file contents" and select only the language(s) you use. By default, I think it is set to index between ten and twenty different languages which would slow things considerably.
How would it be done (if possible) in 9.2?
If the system isn't allowed to index itself, I'm sure files will become misplaced, and eventually everything may break down. I think this may in part be why I was having so much trouble with my 9600. Since installing the same HD in this b&w (after a system reinstall) it starts indexing every couple of days, taking about half an hour. No signs of the 9600 gremlins reappearing. So far...
