Hello,

Please rename "Indexing" in the ArcGIS Options dialog box.

Background:

ArcGIS uses indexing for the spatial index, attribute index, and a data catalog index.  ArcGIS explicitly identifies spatial and attribute indexs but it uses the term indexing for a data catalog index.  This creates ambiguity between the data index and the other types of indexes.

Perhaps it may be useful to change "Indexing" to "Data Catalog Index" or similar.
