Great, Could you provide me with a citation? What functionality will I be losing? Is it just searching the backups?
After a bit of searching it seems that many people have been having problems with the time machine indexing.

See comments: http://tips4mac.blogspot.com/2008/02/adjusting-spotlight-for-your-time.html

Further google searching brought up others with similar issues (duplicates & trouble ejecting).
  Thanks
