I use the GUI of the current release 8.3.1.
I have played around with the options in BaseX to test the speed of CREATE and ADD operations.
Now the GUI "Open and manage" box shows me for any DB I create:
Up-to-date: true 
TEXTINDEX: false 
ATTRINDEX: false

However, I have never set TEXTINDEX or ATTRINDEX to false, and the files in the "data" directory suggest that the indexes are there, as does a "GET TEXTINDEX" (returns "true").

I only made the following changes:
set updindex true; set autooptimize true; set autoflush false;
