Via Update search index the update of the search index begins.

The search index is needed for saving or display of the directory structure. It has to be available in order for catalogs to be displayed in PARTdataManager. Other indices are optional for PARTdataManager functionality (however make sense, in order to be able to use both the full-text search and the different geometric search methods).

As soon as you have clicked on Update search index the progress display shows up at the bottom under Index update.

Index update

	Note
	In contrast to Generate new search index the existing settings (for example hidden folders) remain untouched for Update search index! Update search index is necessary, for example, if project files (*.prj) have been changed or moved in the meantime. A missing search index is signalized by the icon .

	Note
	Compare context menu command Display index -> Update Compare context menu command Display index -> Add missing directories to the display index (??? and ???).
