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".

63To add an index, type a name for it into the "Index Name" field. Select which
64of the possible information sources to index by clicking the checkboxes beside
65them. The list shows all the assigned metadata elements, as well the full
66text. Having selected the data sources, choose the granularity of the index,
67using the "At the level" menu. Once these details are complete, "Add Index"
68becomes active (unless there is an existing index with the same settings).
69Click it to add the new index.
70<p></p>
71To edit an index, select it and change the index details, then click "Replace Index".
72<p></p>
73To remove an index, select it from the list of assigned indexes and click
74"Remove Index".
75<p></p>
76The default index, the one used on the collection's search page, is tagged with
77"[Default Index]" in the "Assigned Indexes" list. To set it, select an index
78from the list and click "Set Default".
79<p></p>
80If advanced searching is enabled (via the Search Types view), the index controls are different. Each index
81is based on just one data source. There is a new pseudo-data source "allfields" which provides searching across all specified indexes at once. Levels are not
82assigned to a specific index, but apply across all indexes: thus indexes and
83levels are added separately. Indexes are removed in the same way as above, but
84the default index can no longer be set -- it is simply the
85first index assigned.
86<p></p>
87To create indexes on all sources, click the "Add All" button. The name of each index will default to the source name. To change the name, select an index, change its details, and click "Replace Index".
