What is a prerequisite for using dtSearch?

Building an index is a prerequisite for using dtSearch because the software relies on an index to efficiently search through vast quantities of data. Without an index, dtSearch would not be able to quickly retrieve results from large datasets, which is one of its key advantages. Indexing prepares data for rapid retrieval by organizing it in a way that allows for quick searches based on keywords and other criteria. This process significantly enhances the search performance and supports complex queries, making it essential for effective use of the dtSearch engine.

Having prior data is necessary for any data management tool but does not specifically pertain to dtSearch's functional process. Access to keyword search and administrator approval may be related to user permissions or capabilities, but they are not foundational requirements for the software's operation. Building the index is fundamentally the first step that enables all subsequent search functionalities.
