  Target Milestone: ---

It would be useful to outline what the different types of indexing options do,
and when they are useful, in the admin guide.

For example:

presence indexing is only useful if looking to find entries with a given
attribute, when generally < 50% of the entries in the DB have an instance of
that attribute.

equality indexing would not be particularly useful on an attribute that exists
in most every entry, and the attribute always has the same value

etc.
