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.
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 these options.
Some of these special-purpose index types allow advanced text searches; other types allow indexes that pre-join to parent tables. Omnidex also allows multiple columns to be indexed as a single column using Index Groups, even when those columns are in different tables.
This section will introduce you to the variety of index types, indexing options and index groups available in Omnidex.
