• 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
to be indexed.
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.
• Browsing (virtual list view) index—The browsing index or virtual list view
index, speeds up the display of entries in the Directory Server Console. This
index is particularly useful if a branch of your directory contains hundreds
of entries, for example, the
index on any branchpoint in the directory tree to improve display
performance. You do this through the Directory Server Console or by using
the
Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.

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.
