	%X In Content-Based Image Retrieval systems it is
important to use an efficient indexing technique in order to perform
and accelerate the search in huge databases. The used indexing
technique should also support the high dimensions of image features.
In this paper we present the hierarchical index NOHIS-tree (Non
Overlapping Hierarchical Index Structure) when we scale up to very
large databases. We also present a study of the influence of clustering
on search time. The performance test results show that NOHIS-tree
performs better than SR-tree. Tests also show that NOHIS-tree keeps
its performances in high dimensional spaces. We include the
performance test that try to determine the number of clusters in
NOHIS-tree to have the best search time.
