database index?

Hi,
I have heared about the database index, I know its something that
makes the index of some of the fields and can result in a very fast
search for a large DB.

I wanted to know if we have database index in mysql and if yes where
can I read more about it, like creating and using them with php.

I googled a lot but may be I don't know the right keywords for it.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

regards

Try these:

"How MySQL Uses Indexes" (from the MySQL manual)
