Or if you are a GUI type of person, I believe you can do that via
System, Preferences, Search & Indexing.  From there you can specify
other folders in addition to your home folder to be indexed, and there
is another window where you can specify what you want excluded from
being indexed.

But being a command line person and wanting to know what happens
behind a GUI, I appreciate Manuel's info.
