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.
