# Introduction

The final step in the ingestion process is to index information. You can send documents to a Knowledge Discovery Content component but also other systems. After CFS finishes processing documents, it automatically indexes them into the indexes that you have configured.

CFS can index documents into:

- Content.

  Index documents into a Content component to search, analyze, and find patterns in unstructured information. You can index documents directly into a Content component, or send them to a Distributed Index Handler (DIH) to be distributed between multiple Content component servers in a distributed architecture.

- Vertica.

  Index documents into a Vertica database to analyze the structured information contained in your data repositories. Much of the metadata extracted by connectors and by File Content Extraction is structured information held in structured fields, so you can use Vertica to gain insight into this information.

By default, CFS indexes each document into all of the indexes specified by the `IndexerSections` parameter in the `[Indexing]` section of its configuration file. However, if the document field `AUTN_INDEXER_SECTIONS` is set, CFS routes the document to the indexes specified in the field. The field accepts a comma-separated list of index names that must match the names of the sections in the CFS configuration file.
