• If an existing search index does not meet your needs, you can create a new search index or modify its schema to add, delete, or change index fields. For more information, see Create a search index and Dynamically modify search index schema.

• In addition to search indexes, Tablestore provides the SQL engine, table engine, and secondary indexes for data queries. You can select a query method based on your scenario. For more information, see Index selection and usage and Index selection.
