You can specify one or more indexes when creating search options. A single search index looks for one piece of information. (For example, the Subject Keyword search option includes a single index and uses only one condition to find matches for the search criterion.) You can use a single index for a keyword, alphabetical, or exact match search.
A combined search index includes multiple indexes—one index for each keyword you want to find in the search. (For example, you can create a combined index to search for “Subject Keyword” and “Author Keyword.”) The result is an expanded search index that allows searching across multiple tags at the same time.
You can combine only keyword indexes.
Combined keyword searches may slow the performance of the workstation. Horizon recommends using between four and six indexes to do this type of search. If you need to use more than six indexes in a general keyword search, contact Horizon Customer Support.
