International index—The international index speeds up searches for
information in international directories. The process for creating an
international index is similar to the process for creating regular indexes, except
that you apply a matching rule by associating a locale (OID) with the attributes

For a listing of supported locales and their associated OIDs, refer to Appendix
D, "Internationalization." If you want to configure the Directory Server to
accept additional matching rules, contact Netscape Professional Services.

About Default, System, and Standard Indexes
When you install Directory Server, a set of default and system indexes is created
per database instance. To maintain these indexes, the directory uses standard
indexes.
Overview of Default Indexes
The default indexes can be modified depending on your indexing needs, although
you should ensure that no server plug-ins or other servers in your enterprise
depend on this index before you remove it.
Table 10-1 lists the default indexes installed with the directory.
