Index Libraries

An index library is a list of indexes.  dtSearch uses index libraries to record the names and locations of the document indexes that you create.  When you select indexes to search, or pick an index to update, compress, etc., the list of indexes displayed comes from the current index library.  If you do not need to use more than 100 indexes, you do not need to worry about index libraries. 

When you run dtSearch for the first time, dtSearch automatically creates a personal index library, named IXLIB.ILB, to hold any indexes that you create.  Use Index Library Manager to create new index libraries, access shared index libraries on a network, and add indexes to or remove indexes from an index library.
