QuestManager

QuestManager is a GUI application that covers complete collection life cycle - from creation through indexing to deployment.

Main QuestManager window has two tabbed panels:

• Collections panel shows the list of open collections and their status. For each collection there's always internal name, description and root directory visible. If index exists, there's also info about when it was last indexed and how many documents are in index database.
• Search panel allows you to test search in open collections.

Collection Status Icons

New collection. Index does not exist.

Collection is indexed and index is up-to-date.

Index need to be updated. because there are changes in document collection or some files are not indexed yet.

Failed to open index or some important index property (like root directory) is invalid.

Collection status is unknown (not yet changed or auto-check has been disabled).
