 Description   

In the referenced documentation, it's not clear on what building a background index means.

It's possible to read the documentation as saying that the index, once built, will also be updated in the background. The doc should be clarified to make clear that once a background index has finished building, there is no difference between the way it is maintained and the way any other index is maintained.
