Create an Index Programatically

Question

Hello
I want to create an index to search in all kind of documents and folders from my code. This is what i´ve done:
String indexName = "index";
IResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(user);
IIndexService indexService = (IIndexService) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.INDEX_SERVICE);
IIndex index = IndexService.createIndex(indexName,indexName,"Group","trexSearch");
index.setWhatToIndex("All Items");
index.generate(rContext);
When i go to System Administration, I see that the index has been created but it only search in documents, not in all items as i have defined.
Anyone knows what i´m doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

private static IIndex createIndex(String indexId, String indexName, String indexGroup, Properties indexProperties,
    Map additionalProperties, String serviceType, IResourceList dataSources) throws WcmException
          IIndexService indexService =(IIndexService)ResourceFactory.getInstance()
           .getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.INDEX_SERVICE);
         IIndex index = indexService.createIndex(indexId, indexName, indexGroup, serviceType);
         if (indexProperties == null){
        indexProperties = new Properties();
         index.init(indexProperties);
         index.generate(indexService.getIndexServiceUserContext());
      if (additionalProperties != null){
        Object testObject = additionalProperties.get(WHAT_TO_INDEX);
        if (testObject != null && testObject instanceof AbstractIndex.WhatToIndex){
          index.setWhatToIndex(((AbstractIndex.WhatToIndex)testObject).toString());
         indexService.updateIndex(index);
         if (dataSources != null){
                 IResourceListIterator it = dataSources.listIterator();
                 while(it.hasNext()){
                      IResource resource = it.next();
                      attachDataSource(index, resource);
         return index;
