Description
The simplest way to create an index is by calling ixCreateIndex. Simply pass it the path to your index and the index mode.
The index mode tells Onix whether you want to keep track of word position as well as what record each word occurs in. Only keeping track of records makes your index considerably smaller. However by keeping track of word position you can perform phrase and proximity queries.
The options are
Record Mode (1) Keeps track of only record information Word Mode (2) Keeps track of word and record information IDF (3) Keeps partial track of word information as well as full record information See Also
