[mapserver-users] Shp Indexes

[Steve Lime]

Indexes are used automatically. 

What are you looking at though? Indexes only have a positive effect if
you're looking
at a portion of the shapefile.

I have added and index file to one of my layers (a streets file for MA)
but
I do not see any perfomance gain

I created the index using the sphtree.exe utility.

Do I need to set any property in my .map file for the index to be
used?
