Indexing is the technique by which search engines process information to enable quick responses to users\u2019 queries. The search engine retrieves search responses by searching an index instead of searching the text directly.
\n<\/span>An index is a collection of documents and each document is a collection of fields that contains the data. It is <\/span>a database used by the search engine. Searching with an index is a much faster and efficient way to retrieve information when compared to text search.
\n<\/span>But, identifying relevant information by sifting through individual pages for keywords to the index can be a very slow process. Instead, an inverted index can be more efficient. Inverted Index<\/i> is a process that inverts a page-centric data structure to a keyword-centric data structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By default, SearchAssist’s search engine applies the inverted index process and indexes all the data in every field, and each indexed field has a separate data structure. <\/span><\/p>\n

SearchAssist\u2019s Index Configuration <\/strong>allows you to configure the fields relevant to your business use case so that the application can manipulate documents and fields to customize the data and results.<\/span><\/p>\n

As mentioned above, once you create an application in SearchAssist, a Default Index <\/em>is automatically created. By default, SearchAssist creates some fields that will be used in the indexing pipeline. You can fine-tune this Default Index or create your own index configuration. Ensure to Train your app<\/strong> each time you make changes to any index configuration. This builds the index based on the updated configurations.<\/p>\n
