Indexing for content-based retrieval

Indexing for content-based retrieval (CBR) is the process of taking the content of annotations or documents or CBR-enabled string properties of documents, annotations, custom objects, or folders and building the appropriate data structures to support query of that data. To accomplish this task, Content Engine sends indexing requests to IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine, which in turn stores indexing data in Verity Collections for a particular object store. Verity collections have a structure and behavior similar to a database table. For CBR-enabled objects, indexing is done automatically when an object is added to the object store; however, you can also force indexing to occur by executing an index job.

Indexing has the following characteristics.
