Would appreciate a quick explanation regarding the differences between
'minimal' and 'full.
The help file provides official definitions, of course, but I don't
really understand the practical ramifications of the two options.
Thanks heaps, Gareth

It sort of works like this:
Suppose you have a text field containing "this field contains text".
In minimal, just one index entry is created, for the entire field,
"this field contains text", and if you think of the index like a
dictionary it will be under the T's.
In "All", an index entry is created for each word -- "this", "field",
"contains"... etc and 2 references to the record will be stored under
the T's, one under the F's, and one under the C's.
Please note the above is a bit of an over simplification, but I hope
it gets the idea accross.
For all other field types (ie... not 'text', minimal and all do the
same thing).
-cheers,
Dave
