What is storing and what is indexing a field when it comes to searching?
Specifically I am talking about MySQL or SOLR.
Is there any thorough article about this, I have made some searches without luck!
Thanks
Storing information in a database just means writing the information to a file.
Indexing a database involves looking at the data in a table and creating an ‘index’ which is then used to perform a more efficient lookup in the table when you want to retreive the stored data.
