Indexes

What follows is a list of FirstSearch indexes and the combination of USE and STRUCTURE attributes that can be used to access them.

1. For any FirstSearch label where multiple USE attributes are listed all the attributes will provide the exact same search result sets.
2. Any USE attribute that is not marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service.
3. Restrictors are specially implemented indexes and are not available for scanning. Terms for these must be ANDed with other terms to limit the size of the result set. See the table provided for each restrictor to determine valid terms and their associated meaning.
