Indexing: update, rebuild etc

Post by 4search »

Dear Andre,
thank you for the really useful program. What I am missing – not feature wise but regarding documentation – is an explanation of the indexing. Is "rebuild" actually correct or is it "update" and "extend to new files" (where unchanged files are skipped). Indexing is sometimes a tedious process and I wouldn't want to rebuild unless something went seriously wrong.

A few use cases regarding indexing (automatically / manually) would be really useful.

Best regards,
Rudy

Hi Rudy,

in the settings you can choose how often a full reindex is made. On that, only new files will be added.
A rebuild is only made if you delete the index (e.g. uninstall it) or in the upcoming version you select "Reindex all files".

I am not sure where you found the term "rebuild"?

Best regards,
Andre
