The Index is a file that G-E builds and constantly maintains. The main purpose of the index file is to speed searches throughout the system by storing frequently used information in one file. This greatly reduces the time G-E needs to spend searching the computer hard disk for information.
Each time a file is appended or added to the system, the index is updated with the new information. It is possible (as with any software) the index file may be corrupted if a power cut or similar should occur as G-E is modifying this file.
The Rebuild Index utility forces G-E to completely rebuild the index file from scratch with the data stored in the client files. It would only be of rare occurrence that you would ever need to use this function but it is there just in case to ensure you have no "down time" with G-E.

If you happen to suffer a power cut or similar while operating the software and on rebooting afterwards you find information in G-E is either missing or incorrect, select Utilities
from the main menu. Select Rebuild Index. On a system with a vast amount of information, you will see a Progress Indicator as G-E gathers information from the client files. On a fast system without a lot of  information, the rebuild will be so fast you will barely notice anything happened. You may notice something "flash" on the screen which was the Progress Indicator.

Restoring the Index at any time will cause no harm but it is pretty pointless.
