Don't Index Everything


It is always tempting to include *.* as a file specification and then to try and exclude things like executable files etc.

Although it is possible to do this, in practice you almost always end up overlooking a bunch of large irrelevant binary files. This makes indexing much slower and your index files unnecessarily large.

You should probably restrict *.* inclusions to specific folders where you know all the files are relevant.
