I downloaded the portable version of Wikipedia the complete one.That was about 46.32 GB which includes about 11 GB of index files under D:\kiwix\data\index\wikipedia_en_all_02_2014.zim.idx
But when i try to search in kiwix it asks me to create index. Creating index will take huge time and space why doesn't it uses the already created index. I didn't install kiwix i am using the portable version.
How can I make Kiwix to use those index files?
I found the solution myself.
Just edit the library.xml file using notepad, present under
C:\Users\(your account)\AppData\Roaming\www.kiwix.org\Kiwix\Profiles\<something>.default
Add the path of the index as
indexType="xapian" indexPath="D:\Kiwix\data\index\wikipedia_en_all_02_2014.zim.idx
Replace with your own index file address, before title entry,which is something like
title="Wikipedia" description="The Free Encyclopedia" language="eng" date="2014-02-21"
and save it.
