   These index.dat files log computer usage, recently open files, etc on a computer. These are not erased or deleted whenever a browser or internet history is deleted or removed.

   You can also do this by going to start, then to select For Files & Folders, and All Files & Folders. Finally, enter in "index.dat" as the file you are wanting to search for.
