Index on custom table field
I'd like to suggest a way to index field on custom tables from Site Manager.

In the meantime, will there be any issue if I go to SQL Server and manually add an index to the fields I need indexed? What will happen if I later make updates to the table in Site Manager? Will anything break? Will my index be preserved?

RE:Index on custom table field
Hello,

Do you mean index for smart search? Regrettably, this is not currently supported and you would need to create custom search using Lucene.NET API and create custom index for custom table for it.

Best Regards,

No, I mean a SQL Server index -- nothing to do with Smart Search. Thanks.

Hi Scott,

There shouldn't be any issue when adding index to fields in custom table. Please note that index won't be included in export/import functionality though.

Best Regards,
