| - | When an application is first prototyped, Omnidex is quite easy to install. Most applications use two index types - the Omnidex Index and the QuickText Index. Most applications do not initially require changing the options or using special-purpose index types; however, as the application is more fully developed, the advanced index types and options are often valuable. | + | Omnidex is quite easy to install on a database, especially in the prototyping phase. Most applications use two basic index types - the Omnidex Index and the QuickText Index - and they will be placed on most columns involved in queries. This indexing will usually provide enough search capability to demonstrate the capabilities of Omnidex. |
| - | Omnidex provides index types for general purpose indexing as well as textual indexing. Omnidex also provides Omnidex also provides options that control case sensitivity, | + | As the application is more fully developed, applications may benefit from using more advanced index types, and also changing some of the indexing options. Many powerful features are accessible with these special-purpose index types and options. There are special-purpose index types that allow advanced text searches. There are indexing options that allow indexes to be pre-joined to a parent table, enabling very fast table joins. Index groups also allow multiple columns to be indexed as a single column, even when the columns are in different tables. |
| - | Omnidex also provides Index Groups, which combine multiple indexes into one. This allows the data to be automatically searched across multiple columns, even when those columns exist in multiple tables. This powerful feature can bring tremendous flexibility and speed to an application. | + | |
