14Indexes 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".

64To add an index, type a name for it into the "Index Name" field. Select which
65of the possible information sources to index by clicking the checkboxes beside
66them. The list shows all the assigned metadata elements, as well the full
67text. Having selected the data sources, choose the granularity of the index,
68using the "At the level" menu. Once these details are complete, "Add Index"
69becomes active (unless there is an existing index with the same settings).
70Click it to add the new index.
71<p></p>
72To remove an index, select it from the list of assigned indexes and click
73"Remove Index".
74<p></p>
75The default index, the one used on the collection's search page, is tagged with
76"[Default Index]" in the "Assigned Indexes" list. To set it, select an index
77from the list and click "Set Default". To reset it, click "Clear Default".
78<p></p>
79If advanced searching is enabled (via the Search Types view), the index controls are different. Each index
80is 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
81assigned to a specific index, but apply across all indexes: thus indexes and
82levels are added separately. Indexes are removed in the same way as above, but
83the default index can no longer be set -- it is simply the
84first index assigned.
85<p></p>
86To 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".
