Well, that will also give your users faster search times.
It would be interesting to understand how Google can go search the entire planet and return a million results in less than 1 second, but when I type a single word into the search field at the top of Apple Help Viewer, it takes typically 3 seconds (15 seconds from a cold start) to find several results in a single Help Book on the same computer – a Help Book which the developer has waited several minutes to supposedly be “indexed".
