# Index fields

A summary table of all the index fields in PageSeeder and items for which they are available.

A more detailed definition of each field can be found in [Index field definitions](field_definitions.md).

For more explanations on the abbreviations used in this document see [Legend & explanations](legend_and_explanations.md).

> **Note:** Setting the group property `indexXFields` to `true` and then re-indexing the group adds all document metadata fields extracted by Tika to the index with the prefix `x-`(also known as X-Fields).
