== Create a fulltext serach index ==
The fulltext search, implemented in zimlib and used in zimreader, needs an index file. The index file is ZIM file with special articles in [[Namespace|namespace ''X'']].
The indexer, which creates that index file is implemented as a data source in zimwriter. It reads the articles from a zim file to create the full text index. To use it, pass -Z ''zimfile'' to the writer e.g. ''zimwriter -Z wikipedia-de.zim wikipedia-de-x.zim''.
