    The Index Type interface provides a drop-down menu from which the appropriate index type can be selected:

    fts index type interface

    Following options are available:

    • Version 5.0 (Moss) is the standard form of index to be used in test, development, and production. This version is deprecated.

    • Version 6.0 (Scorch) reduces the size of the index-footprint on disk and provides enhanced performance for indexing and mutation-handling

    The type of an index is saved in its JSON definition, which can be previewed in the Index Definition Preview panel, at the right-hand side.

    Example

    Version 5.0 contained the following value for the store attribute:

    Javascript
    "store": { "kvStoreName": "mossStore" },

    Version 6.0 and later contains a different value:

    javascript
    "store": { "kvStoreName": "", "indexType": "scorch" },
