13Indexes specify what parts of the collection are searchable. This section explains how to add and remove indexes, and set a default index. Under "Design Sections", click "Search Indexes".
14 <p></p>
15To add an index, type a name for it into the "Index Name" field. Select which
16of the possible information sources to index by clicking the checkboxes beside
17them. The list shows all the assigned metadata elements, as well the full
18text. Having selected the data sources, choose the granularity of the index,
19using the "At the level" menu. Once these details are complete, "Add Index"
20becomes active (unless there is an existing index with the same settings).
21Click it to add the new index.
22<p></p>
23To edit an index, select it and change the index details, then click "Replace Index".
24<p></p>
25To remove an index, select it from the list of assigned indexes and click
26"Remove Index".
27<p></p>
28To create an index covering text and all metadata, click "Add All".
29<p></p>
30The default index, the one used on the collection's search page, is tagged with
31"[Default Index]" in the "Assigned Indexes" list. To set it, select an index
32from the list and click "Set Default".
33<p></p>
34If advanced searching is enabled (via the Search Types view), the index controls are different. There is a new pseudo-data source "allfields" which provides searching across all specified indexes at once. Levels are not
35assigned to a specific index, but apply across all indexes: thus indexes and
36levels are added separately. "Add All" creates a separate index for each metadata field in this mode.
37<p></p>
38The name of each index will default to the source name. To change the name, select an index, change its details, and click "Replace Index".
