About the Index class
The whoosh Index class provides high-level methods to the Search class, like "add document" or "update document" or "remove document".
At the heart of the Index class is the analogy of items in the index to documents in a filesystem. Each index is like a filesystem, and adding a single document to a search index is equivalent to adding a new file to thgat filesystem.
This analogy is also useful in understanding Whoosh's Storage class.
