What is the best "level" to index to. Most of my data is in attributes. I am searching based on tag(i.e. <phone number="1234567"/) andthen within the tag for the attribute(i.e. number). Should I index on the tag and all of its attributes, some tags have a lot of attributes or just the tag?
If your queries are testing against the contents of the attribute then you should index the attribute.
Can I create indexes on the fly from within my program or do I have to do it from the command-line?
You can, but I don't think there's any docs on it. You use the CollectionManager service to do it. You can take a look at the source for the command line tool to see how it's used.
thanks,
