Indexes
What follows is a list of FirstSearch indexes and the combination of USE and
STRUCTURE attributes that can be used to access them.
- For any FirstSearch label
where multiple USE attributes are listed all the attributes will provide
the exact same search result sets.
- Any USE attribute that is not
marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service.
- 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.

search. They must be added to an index search with the Boolean AND in
order to receive results:

Stopwords
Stopwords are a list of terms that will not be indexed because they occur frequently
and do not add to the content of the indexes. Unless otherwise noted stopwords
apply to all WORD indexes in a database. Searches including a stopword as a term
will result in a search error being returned.
