Creating an Index
How do I create and maintain an index?

The five pushbuttons at the bottom of the Data Detective Indexer are used to create and maintain the index.

1.	Click the button to build an index based on the Document Selector and Document Configuration options currently set.

The Indexing Result dialogue shows the state of the index (number of documents, number of words indexed, amout of time spend indexing, etc.). Note that you can interrupt the indexing process by clicking the button at any time.

2.	Click on the Indexing Result dialog once indexing is finished.

Once an index is built, the button becomes active. Clicking it will bring up the Indexing Result dialogue from the last time the index was built.

The button brings up the Data Detective help files for both the Indexer and the Searcher applications.

The button brings up the Registration dialog and the serial number for this installation.

3.	Click to shut down the Indexer application.

Now that you have configured and built an index, you're ready to begin searching.
