Default Do I need Windows indexing?

I read that you should not use the index feature in Windows for SSDs. In
my case I note that it's enabled.

So:

Q1: Should I disable it?

Q2: What impact will that have (apart from the implied increased
longevity of my SSD.)?

Q3: Given that I have the excellent Everything search program installed,
I'm only now wondering if I need the built in Windows indexing at all,
even on my other large HDs?
