How to create a index for a query in AEM6.3 with sp2

Hi sunjot16,

Please provide inputs.

I was able to generate the query required using the https://oakutils.appspot.com/generate/index

Assume it generated  below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><jcr:root xmlns:dam="http://www.day.com/dam/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0">
<myIndex compatVersion="{Long}2" async="async" jcr:primaryType="oak:QueryIndexDefinition" evaluatePathRestrictions="{Boolean}true" type="lucene">
<indexRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<dam:Asset jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<properties jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<valid name="valid" propertyIndex="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" notNullCheckEnabled="{Boolean}true"/>
<mimetype name="mimetype" analyzed="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/>
<lastModified name="jcr:content/metadata/jcr:lastModified" ordered="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/>
<status name="jcr:content/metadata/status" propertyIndex="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/>
</properties>
</dam:Asset>
</indexRules>
</myIndex>
</jcr:root>

1> Should i manually login as admin and create this  content structure under /oak:index   and myIndex  name could be anything i could name it to?

Is there a possibility that we can add this code and deploy through maven .If yes then what will be the procedure

2> After the creating the required structure .Where to see for data if it has been indexed or not. 

Under 

http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/operations/content/diagnosis/tool.html/granite_oakindexmanager I see some options already present that are they under /oak:index

If i select any and click re-index it says "indexing completed"  .But where to go and check manually  the index data . Will the index data be stored under any node which i could view?

3> So after creating the structure and on clicking on re-indexing  for the 1st time will my query start  picking  from the indexed data .

4> If any new content  pages(say newly added few pages) has been added which are related to the query, then  will the index be refreshed automatically or should we manually go this page http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/operations/content/diagnosis/tool.html/granite_oakindexmanager  and trigger a manual refresh. 

Thanks.
