List all indexes with keys, description and size

This script combines functionality of sp_helpindex and sp_spaceused to list all tables with individual indexes, their keys and description  (sp_spaceused cannot do that) and size in MB per individual index (sp_helpindex cannot do that either). Feel free to use and modify as you see fit. Hope it can help.
