Indexing
Indexing
The Logos 4 Indexer makes possible far-reaching and quick searches of your entire library.
Some important information about indexing:
- It builds one index to be searched instead of searching one-by-one through each book in your library.
- It is essential to finding all that you can in every resource in your library.
- It enables searches to finish much faster than in Logos 3.
- It allows search results to show you the top hits ranked by number and relevance.
- When new books are added to your library, the index will be rebuilt to know the position of every word in that resource.
- The indexing process can take a very long time, but the upshot is fast and comprehensive searching.
Indexing Tips:
- Allow indexing to complete the first time without pausing or restarting the program. Once the index is built, you will be able to search your library.
- Hover over the small, blue Logos icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar to check the indexer status; right click to pause or resume indexing.
- Be sure not to put your computer to sleep (hibernate) while Indexing.
- Once the initial index is built, when you purchase and download new books, you can work in Logos as usual as it indexes.
Q. What if I add a new book?
A. Your new book will be indexed by itself, then merged into the main index. This is typically much faster than building the initial index.
Q. Is there a way to pause indexing?
A. There is an option to pause the indexing process for 4 hours. This is done by right clicking on the Logos 4 icon that appears in the System Tray (right side of Windows Taskbar by time).
Q. Can I speed it up?
A. You might try temporarily turning off your anti-virus software. Indexing speed is also affected by the amount of memory available.
