Windows drive indexing searches and indexes everything including outlook. if you disable windows drive indexing, outlook indexing will also be disabled. you can enable windows drive indexing and remove outlook from being indexed.

Why remove outlook indexing

Why both can be enabled
both can be enabled. I would never remove outlook indexing. people sometimes disable indexing to improve performance, so if you have slow drives and slow CPU disabling indexing can help with performance.

So keep outlook indexing on and windows search service disabled?

On top u wrote earlier to disable outlook indexing? Which one to enable and which one to disable

Please confirm
No, windows indexing must be enabled for outlook indexing to work. you can have windows indexing enable while outlook indexing disabled, but not the other way around.

what are you trying to do?

Search email items from outlook
ok, so windows indexing needs to be enabled and have outlook indexed also.

so if outlook indexing is disabled and windows indexing is enabled, will it help in my outlook search items as windows indexing will do that as well as you outlined above
