You can use the Spotlight System Preferences to prevent folders from being indexed. Add the folders you don't want indexed to the set of private folders that Spotlight doesn't index.

I often have trouble ejecting my Time Machine hard drive even if I'm not using it.
After some researching I saw that Spotlight was indexing my time machine drive.
I tried turning it of ( # mdutil -i off /Volumes/TimeMachineDrive ) but I can't, instead of indexing off, I get a message saying "Indexing on"

Trying to turn it off:
% sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Antaeus
Password:
/Volumes/Antaeus:
        Indexing enabled.
