Can you please give step by step directions to see my "default search indexes".

Trying a search like this over a period of time (like 24 hours) should give you a pretty good idea of what the indexes are that you can see by default:

| tstats count by index

This may vary by app that you are in, however. So try it in several apps that you have access to that are ones you frequently use (like Searching & reporting).
