Indexing

Prerequisites: Users must have system administrator permissions to recycle the DSS application pool and delete LuceneIndex files.

System administrators can populate the luceneindex folder with indexing files to test and run the InSite Search main search index functionality.

Note
Searches performed during or prior to index setup return no results. Depending on site size and hardware, it could take a few minutes for the index to complete, but in most cases, it takes less time than that. While the index is building, the same queries could return different results as more data is added to the index.

To generate the main search index files:
  1. Check in the pages.
    1. Click a page in the Site Tree.
    2. Click the Check In button Check In Button in the Edit toolbar.
  2. Mark the checked-in pages for publish by clicking the Mark/Unmark for Publish drop-down button Mark/Unmark for Publish Button in the Edit tab and then setting your publish marking preferences in the dialog that displays.
    See Marking Pages for Publish for more details.
  3. Submit a publish by completing the following steps:
    1. Select Page, Page and Children or Site from the Publish button drop-down Publish Button.
      The Publish dialog opens.
    2. Select a publishing target.
    3. Select Incremental or Full.
      The Publish Submitted dialog opens.
    4. Click Monitor Publishes to view the pending publish, or click Close to exit the dialog.
  4. Recycle the DSS app pool in Internet Information Services (IIS).
  5. Delete existing main index files in the App_Data\LuceneIndex folder.
  6. Enter an address to the DSS website in a web browser. http://website.com/dss/x4.xml
    This will trigger the re-indexing of content.
