Build Command
(Index Menu)
This command tells Wilbur to start indexing all the files you have
designated in the index dialog. You must
build the index before you can search
the files, but normally the build process starts automatically when
you leave the index dialog.
Building the index will probably take a few minutes if you have a significant
number of files, particularly if you have a lot of zip files and are
treating them as directories. Of course as you work on your computer,
you will modify the contents of the indexed files or add files to the
group and you will need to update the index to reflect these changes.
This is done with the update command. Since
this command does not have to look at files that have not been modified
since the full index was built, it is significantly faster.
While Wilbur is indexing your files, you can still view and launch
whatever files are listed in the file list, but you cannot do new searches.
You can interrupt the indexing by clicking on the
button on the toolbar, selecting Index/Stop
on the menu bar or by pressing the escape key on the keyboard.
If you interrupt the indexing, the resulting index will not have any
files indexed, but all of your include and exclude specifications will
be preserved. If there was a previous version of the index stored, you
can read it back in, but you will have to first use the File/New
command to clear the erased copy from Wilbur’s memory.
