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.

Your confusing this (Sherlock indexing the disk for full text searching) with directory databases and b-trees, which the OS uses for keeping track of what goes where . Completely different things.
