# DREADD

Allows you to index IDX or XML files located on a machine that IDOL can access directly into the IDOL Server. Parameters you use with `DREADD` override any equivalent settings in the IDOL Server configuration file.

The IDX or XML file that you want to index must be either on the same machine as IDOL, or on a network share that IDOL has permission to access.

If you have set DelayedSync to `true` or you have set a high MaxSyncDelay in the configuration file, some time might elapse before a file is available for searching.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREADD?C:\Documents\News\today.idx&DREDbName=News

This index action uses port `20001` to index a file called `today.idx` into IDOL Server's `News` database.
