Updating database indexes and views
A view index is an internal filing system that IBM® Lotus® Notes® uses to build the list of documents to display in a database view or folder. View indexes should be kept current so that information in views and folders stays synchronized with document updates.

A full-text index is an index of the text in a database. To perform advanced searches for text in a database, users need an up-to-date full-text index that reflects the latest content of a database.

You can use any of the following to update database indexes:
