Use Indexing for Faster UI Search

Select from any of the following options:

Note: You can set indexing only for the parent objects. The child objects use the same indexing as that of the parent objects. Also, the index type creation is hidden for child objects.

• Btree - This is the regular indexing that is currently available across the application.
• Full Text - This allows you to index the items within your application and helps you to perform faster search in the existing UI. When using Full Text, ensure to provide the complete word when performing a search.

Note: Full Text indexing is available only for users running MySQL version 5.7 or above.

• None - No indexing is performed. A search performed with no indexing results in slower search results. This is the default selection.
