Windows Search 4.0 for windows XP

For this update it says I will have to "rebuild index". What exactly does
that mean?
Will I lose my entire index or what? It does not say what that means. Any
help
will be greatly appreciated. It sure is cold here now in West St. Paul, MN

All this means is that Windows Search 4.0 once installed is going to scan you
hard drive and catalogue all the files on it for future fast search results.
It will do this in the background as a process. You won't lose anything.
