can you please explain what the AOD_index module does?
How can I disable it?
The reason I would like to disable it as I am running a script that updates statuses on a custom module and I am getting an error message: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/sugar/suite714/modules/AOD_Index/Lib/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/Directory/Filesystem.php on line 161
I found out how to disable it - studio 
I’d still like to know what it does
AOD is the “Advanced Open Discovery” module. Basically it supercharges SuiteCRM search.
You get cleaner and more comprehensive results using AOD than the basic SugarCRM search. The AOD_Index is how it quickly finds results.
I actually just learned about this because somehow my index wasn’t working correctly and I had to rebuild it.
