21 Refreshing or rebuilding an Index results in the latest data being made available to users. The specified build type / Index method will change how this is accounted for:

23 (% style="padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" %)
24 **Complete**
25
26 (% style="padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" %)
27 The entire Index is rebuilt.

29 (% style="padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" %)
30 **Incremental**
31
32 (% style="padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" %)
33 New and changed records are added as new rows. This maintains the history of a record that may have changed over time. No de-duplication is applied. An **Incremental Identifier** is required to denote which field is used to identify a change.

42 **Cumulative**
43
44 (% style="padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" %)
45 New records are added as new rows and changed records are amended to deduplicate the same record when an **Incremental Identifier** and **Primary Key** are set.

101 Search Engines group Indexes together to create a logical collection of searchable data. Any implementation can have any number of Search Engines. Search Engines are the easiest way of partitioning up data from a security perspective, as administrators can restrict which Search Engines a user, or group of users, has access to.
