Working with indices

Index – is a list of all the words from the documents. Go to the Index tab to find a window with the list of indices. The list shows information about existing indices: index name, count and size of documents, date and time of last changes and creation. Here you can create, refresh, change, delete, rename indices. All common commands are available in the top toolbar. To get additional functions, right mouse click on index to see context menu. Please note – to work with an index you need to select it. To do that, just click one time on the index name. The index string will become blue and "Delete", "Rebuild", "Change" buttons will be activated.

"Create" button

By pressing this key, you can create a new index. Additional information can be found in the "Creating an Index" topic. For convenience, you can create two indexes. After creating new index, the program will automatically switch to a Search tab. Before conducting a search using the search, please don't forget to select in which index you want conduct the search. You can do that in the dropdown list Search zone. If you need to search in all indixes, then select in the dropdown list Search in all zones.

"Rebuild" button

This button allows you to reindex all modified documents. During this process, all the settings of index will stay the same – (to change them please use the "Change" button). You will probably need to refresh the index after the documents are changed.

"Change" button

To change index settings, please click this button. After changing settings, the program will ask you to refresh the index. You can put off this operation – (for example, if you changed only the index name or updated documents paths).

"Delete" button

After pressing this button the program will ask for a confirmation to delete the index, and if you answer Yes the index will be deleted (Note that, the program will delete only the index, not the documents).

Additional commands

Through the context menu (which can be showed by a right mouse click on the index) you can access three additional commands: "Rename", "Statistics" and "Lexicon".
