Ah, I see there a missunderstanding. To clear up:
- predefined index: Here I refered to the stc-file properly
filled for fast searching. Nothing more. This has some
overlap with building an openingbook/base, and the idea
comes from my refdb. E.g. I've some repertoir file set up,
and once I added new games to the refdb I just click
through all lines in my repertoir and store the index
afterwards. Then the DB is set to read only. (chmod -w).
Of course my repertoir is neither perfect nor complete.
But I could think of a good collection of opening lines
that suit most users needs. Then such an stc-file would
speed up searching considerably.
- flags: I think that is what you refer to here. This is
actually a way of intellectual indexing the base. It is a
very valuable thing indeed and requires much work. But
e.g. it would be good if you e..g search for brilliancies
regularily anyway to set this flag in scids refdb as well.

Get him on board for the Refdb :) Sounds like the perfect
companion :)

Agree. And this also adresses a major point: there're quite
some huge dbs accessible online on the net but mostly only
online. With scid one could offer also a DB for offline
usage.
