The indexing service is adjustable - you can 'nice' it or set it to not run when the desktop is in use. You might reconsider disabling it, especially if you use Gnome3, as search is a primary access paradigm. Just hit the window key and start typing and a list of files is shown like in dynamic google - apps too. Once you try it a while you may find it a faster way of file retrieval / app launch.
