Reindexing a Volume

Indexing can be limited to the contents of a particular volume. You can choose to reindex all of the contents of the volume, or all previously indexed text from documents or electronic documents associated with the volume.

Note:  An alternative to indexing text by volume is to index the entire repository. For more information, see Indexing.
