Please provide some context. Please describe the background of the problem (not just the code you want). Questions without context and background are very difficult to answer.

Hi,

 

Further to @PaigeMiller's advice, please also clarify if you are asking about the index() function used to search for a substring in a string, or the kind of index that can be created and associated with a data set to help process it more efficiently.

 

 

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.
