Corpus indexing overview

After you add a lot of documents to a LiveDocs corpus - or you change documents there -, memoQ indexes the new contents in the background.

Indexing means preparing for lookups: When memoQ indexes a corpus, a translation memory, or a term base, it prepares the resource so that the computer can search text in them very quickly.

If there is a lot of text to index, memoQ may slow down. Or, the new text in the corpus may not appear in matches for some time. In the Corpus indexing overview window, you can check memoQ's progress on indexing each LiveDocs corpus. You can also stop the indexing if you need your computer to run faster.

 
How to get here

At the top of the memoQ window, click the memoQ tab. In the memoQ menu, click Resources. On the Resources page, click Corpus Indexing.
