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 index displayed in the administration interface |
| • | Code name: name of the index used in website code (the fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters long, the directory name must be less than 241 characters long) |
| • | Analyzer type: type of analyzer that will be used when indexing the content of your site, 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 whitespaces |
| • | Keyword - tokenizes the entire stream as a single token; this is useful for data like zip codes, ids, and some product names |
| • | Stop words - dictionary containing words which will be omitted from indexing (e.g. 'and', 'or', ...) when Stop or Standard analyzer is used; the dictionaries are stored in ~\App_Data\CMSModules\SmartSearch\_StopWords |
| • | Index type: type of content to be indexed (only for Stop and Standard analyzers) |
| • | Documents - indexes content of documents in the content tree |
| • | Forums - indexes content of discussion forums |
| • | Users - indexes details about system users - fields of the CMS_User system table |
| • | Custom tables - indexes records in custom tables |
Besides modifying these properties, you can also Rebuild (
) 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 (
) 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.
