On this tab, you can modify the general properties of the currently edited search index. It is the same properties that you define when creating a new search index:

 

Display name - name of the search index displayed in the user interface
Code name - name of the search index used in web site code
Analyzer type - type of analyzer used for indexing, each type uses a different algorithm for parsing the text and is suitable for a different situation, the following types are available:
Standard - grammar-based analyzer (stop-words, shortcuts, ...), very efficient for English, but need not produce satisfactory results with other languages
Simple - divides text at non-letter characters
Stop - contains a collection of stop-words at which it divides the text
White space - divides text at white spaces

 

Besides modifying these properties, you can also Rebuild (Icon_RebuildIndex) the index, which deletes the original one and the specified content gets indexed again. Index is automatically optimized after successful rebuild.

 

You can also Optimize (Icon_Optimize) the index, which results in better search performance, particularly in case of large indexes.

 

In the Index info box, you can find some self-explaining information about the index.
