indexing on L4Mac

Just installed Logos 4 on my new mac (4.6 SR-2). I forgot to change my power settings and the computer went to sleep while indexing my library. Does this interfere with the indexing? I have changed my power settings for right now and Logos has resumed indexing.

I am wondering if I need to stop the indexing process and rebuild the index. Any help is appreciated.

That should not be necessary. If indexing is interrupted, it should resume at the last place successfully indexed.

Rebuild Index should only be required when corruption occurs. I think I have only used is once or twice in the three-year life of L4.

So...logos crashed, but the blue indexing icon did not go away. I restarted logos and then a second blue indexing icon popped up next to the first. the first one said indexing was at 64%, the second one (after the crash and restart) reads 2%.

So I shut the program down. blue icons did not disappear. I restarted the program, and typed "rebuild index" thinking that i might need to since the program originally crashed.

so now i have 3 blue index icons in my top bar...what am i doing?

Each of the icons is going up in percentage. Is logos building 3 indices?

Possibly: one option is clicking on the ones with the smallest % done, then click Pause. Can use activity monitor to quit the Indexers, which are paused (doing nothing for 4 hours).

After the blue icon in the menu bar disappears, try searching. The Logos 4 Mac application reads the indexes created by the indexing process.

Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Getting_Started_with_Logos that has a Search segment with several Tips and ideas.

Sometimes. Feel free to reboot your computer and restart Logos.
