Rebuild Examine Index

Hi there,

is there a way to explicitly rebuld the examine index?

I deleted the examine index-directory, restartet IIS & the app-pool and exmine will generate its new directories with

/Index

and

/Queue

in it and generates the .exa and .lck files BUT the queue remains empty and so the index will not be refreshed.

shuoldn't it generate a .add file in the queue for each node in the CMS? Why does this not happen? Any Ideas?

therse are my settings from the examinesettings file:

     <add name="MyIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.MemberLuceneExamineIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
                runAsync="true"
                supportUnpublished="false"
                supportProtected="true"
                interval="60"
                analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
                indexSet="MyIndexSet"/>

and

      <add name="MySearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.LuceneExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
        analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcards="true"
        indexSet="MyIndexSet"/>

and the ones in the examineIndex.config:

<IndexSet SetName="MyIndexSet" IndexPath="~/data/ExamineIndexes/de/MyIndexSet/" IndexParentId="2077">


    <IndexAttributeFields>
      <add Name="id" />
      
      <add Name="nodeName" />
      
      <add Name="updateDate" />
      <add Name="releaseDate" />
      <add Name="contentDate" />
      <add Name="writerName" />
      <add Name="path" />
      <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" />
      
      <add Name="parentID"/>
      <add Name="niceUrl"/>
      <add Name="umbracoNiceUrl"/>
      <add Name="version"/>
    <add Name="pressId"/>
    <add Name="isAdHoc"/>

    </IndexAttributeFields>
    <IndexUserFields />
    <IncludeNodeTypes />
    <ExcludeNodeTypes />
</IndexSet>

I run Umbraco 4.5.2 and Examine 1.0

Kind regards

Christo

ok, i have it:

<add name="MyIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.MemberLuceneExamineIndexer, UmbracoExamine"...

is wrong. it's pointing to the wrong indexer. should be:

LuceneExamineIndexer instead ( too much copy&paste i guess :-)

Hi Christo,

As far as I'm aware, to rebuild the Examine/Lucene index, you'll need to republish at least one of the content nodes - hopefully that should kick-start it?

Cheers, Lee.

Thats true, or just empty up the index folder. But anyway, my mistake was a wrong configuration, which didn't let the indexing start.

thanks

Christo,

I knocked together a little utility you can grab it here extract the files to your usercontrols directory then in your dashboard.config add the following:
```
 <section id="developer">
    <areas>
      <area>developer</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Umbraco examine">
      <control>/usercontrols/ExamineIndexAdmin.ascx</control>
    </tab>

  </section>
```
When you log into the backend under developer section all your indexes will be listed with a button to rebuild next to it, clicking that will fire up the rebuild process.

Regards

Ismail

Ismail -

It'd be great if you could get that on the our.umbraco.org. It's really helpful, and I'm sure a ton of people could use it.

So the magic is done by:

ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection[indexToRebuild].RebuildIndex();

that's exactly what I was looking for.

thanks Ismail

Thanks for this package.

I installed it after I added a new value to ExcludeNodeTypes in the ExamineIndex.config but found the pages of the type I had added were still being found in the search.

I rebuilt the index as instructed but found that no search results would appear until I had performed a publish of the home node and all its subpages.

Is that right?

I'm still finding my way about Examine.

Thanks.

Thanks Ismail it works!

I am wondering, why doesn't Umbraco update the indexes automatically when you edit and publish content..??

I am trying to implement ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection[indexToRebuild].RebuildIndex();

When the site loads due to issue:

https://our.umbraco.org/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/84748-examine-not-rebuilding-after-cmsimport

Can this be done please?
