What is indexing?
Indexing is the process of creating an inverted index from documents.
An inverted index is a collection of data structured as a table containing 'words' and 'document IDs containing those words'.
Apache Solr achieves fast search by utilizing inverted indexes.
Indexing Methods
The indexing method is as follows:
- Log in to KandaSearch.
- From the project list, click on the name of the project you want to index. (To display the list of projects, click on the KandaSearch logo in the upper left corner of the screen.)
- From the project overview, click on the name of the instance you want to index.
- On the instance overview, click on 'REGISTER DOCUMENTS'.
- On the 'Upload a file' screen, select the collection, then drag and drop the JSON or XML file from your local PC into the dashed box, or click on 'CHOOSE A FILE' within the dashed box and specify the file.
- Click on 'INDEX DOCUMENTS' to start indexing and wait for the process to complete.
Notes.
- The maximum file size allowed for upload on the 'Upload a file'screen is 2MB.
- When performing indexing with files exceeding the maximum size limit, you should use the Apache Solr API.
- You can easily try indexing by utilizing the data available in the extension library (corresponding to collections).
