mdworker_shared - What is this?

Bit of advice please.

Activity Monitor is showing that I have about 10,000 (OK, 37) instances of 'mdworker_shared' running and consuming a fair chunk of memory.

Can anyone please tell me what this is and if there is a way to get rid of it?

Many thanks.

Thanks Kappy.

Should there be 30+ instances of it running?
