After the my_collection.cfg file has been edited, the entire collection must be re-indexed. Follow these steps to re-index the entire collection:
-
Click Start > All Programs > FTR > Hummingbird SearchServer Administrator.
-
When the Login screen appears, type your password in the Password field and then click OK. (The default password is "password".)
-
In the Browse Tables area, select the Location of the collection that you want to re- index.
-
Click Index.
-
Check the Rewind Log file (REWIND) box if you want to clear the index log before you refresh the index.
-
Check the Re-index entire table (ABANDON) box to re-create the table structure and re-index.
-
Check the Validate table (VALIDATE TABLE) box to update the rows based on the current file system.
-
Click the Upgrade to x.x Format box.
-
Type the minimum size of the temporary sort file.
-
Type the minimum size for the temporary buffer.
-
Click a Proximity Method – All, Paragraphs, Sentence, Word, or Character.
-
Click a Wildcard Optimization – None, Minimize Search Time, or Minimize Index Overhead.
-
Click OK.
-
Click Check Status if you want to monitor the status during the process.
-
Click Index Log if you want to check the log file of the process.
As an alternative method, you can also use the OpenText ExecSQL application with the following SQL statement:
VALIDATE INDEX Collection_name VALIDATE TABLE ABANDON VERBOSE;
Re-indexing the entire collection could take a long time, depending on the size of
your collection, because the collection files are recreated and indexed.
