Indexes manager

Indexes are files of special format that are created by the application. In this case the index files are created by SearchInform. These files are the basic reason of the high searching speed. Utilizing several indexes in SearchInform allows to use different search criteria for different data bases and to carry out search separately in every data base.

To create and manage Indexes use the SearchInform Index Manager. You can access it from the main application window in the following ways:

- Menu "Options" - "Indexes manager"
- Click the button in the managers tool bar if it is switched on.
