Sarima uses a unique mechanism together with indexing to optimise search queries dynamically. An Index is a cached version of your unstructured data stored on either a file server, or other supported storage.

When you first initiate Sarima you’ll have to create an index. Simply click the create Index button and select a folder where you intend to perform ‘on the fly’ searches. That’s it. Creating an initial index may take a few seconds to a few hours depending on the size of data to be indexed.

Once your index is ready you’ll see it on the home page. Click the search button next to it and you’ll be redirected to a search page. Type your query into the text field and hit enter to see the results. You can view the matched files in the file explorer or open them directly in the default app for viewing, copying, redaction or sharing where appropriate.

Your index is a ‘state in time’ index of your data source, if this data is being continually modified by users on the day to day, you will need to rebuild your indexes frequently. Rebuilding an index takes a fraction of the time it takes to build an initial index as the majority of data is already cached in Sarima.

Click the ‘Rebuild Index’ button and you’ll be directed to a report where you can see all files that have been modified, deleted or added since you last updated the index. You can then click the rebuild index button to update the index if necessary.
