An indexing operation typically requires approximately 1.5MB per file, and since
there are two files, one of which is temporary, you may need as much as 3MB of
disk space for indexing. Setting the file size to 1.5MB per file puts a cap on how
large each file can become.
Indexing Your Documents
A database of searchable data is required for users to search. You must create a
database, called a collection, that indexes and stores information about the
documents, such as their content and file properties.
Searches require collections of files to target. Once the documents are indexed,
their contents and file properties, such as their titles, creation dates, and authors,
are available for searching.
You can add or delete documents from a collection: optimizing, updating, and
managing your collections as needed.
