# IndexOverSocket

The `IndexOverSocket` parameter specifies whether data is sent over a network for indexing or is indexed locally.

- Enter `true` when the IDOL Server is installed on a different computer and documents must be indexed over a network. In this case CFS uses a `DREADDDATA` index action and sends the data over the network.
- Enter `false` when the IDOL Server is installed on the same computer and documents are indexed locally. In this case, CFS uses a `DREADD` index action. File-based indexing using `DREADD` is quicker, but the documents must be on the same machine as IDOL, or on a network share that IDOL has permission to access.
