Setting up Indexes for Initial Searches 

Use

On the Indexing for a Search tab page, you find all necessary functions for checking and changing the status of the index and the index job. The position of the functions on the tab page takes into account how often the individual functions are needed, according to the initial set-up of the index.

The following section looks at the sequence in which you have to (or can) call up the functions when setting up indexing for a search in documents for the first time.

You can find additional information about each of the functions under Tab Page: Indexing for a Search.
