You have successfully installed blinkx !

What happens now?

1. You will see this:
   
   
   
   The Initializing Index message means that blinkx is getting ready to index the files in the folder that you made available for local searching. Indexing means that blinkx reads files, so that it can later return them to you as search results.

   None of these documents ever leave your machine!

   This message is displayed until blinkx is ready to start indexing your files.

2. Next you will see this:
   
   
   
   The message changes again to display the number of documents that have been indexed so far. Once blinkx has finished indexing, it will only index again if you add a file to the folder it is indexing from, or edit a file in this folder.

Note:

You can adjust blinkx's indexing speed by moving the slider bar on the search box. blinkx has three indexing modes:

1. Stopped
   If you move the slider bar to the left, blinkx stops indexing your documents. This means that no new documents are added to your index, and the performance of your machine is unaffected.
   
   

2. Active/Inactive
   If you move the slider bar to the middle, blinkx indexes your documents only when your machine is not being used. Use this as your default mode, once blinkx has completed the initial indexing process and only needs to index new files.
   
   

3. Fast
   If you move the slider bar to the right, blinkx indexes your documents continuously. Use this mode when you have a large number of files to index. This may affect the performance of your computer, so you should use this mode if you are not using your computer for a period (for example, overnight).
