    Examine index rebuilds

    Hi our Umbraco Team

    How are Examine indexes rebuilt when app is up and running?

    I know i can manually go into back office and rebuild.

    I just would know if they update on new/update node or on a timing service ?

    Hi Dibs

    Whenever you publish a content item or save a media item, then the corresponding entry in the Examine index is also updated.

    So in theory the indexes never need to be rebuilt or ever updated on a regular interval.

    Examine indexes are ultimately files on disk, have a look in app_data/Temp/ExamineIndexes (if I remember correctly)...

    ... if you are load balancing or scaling out server instances there is a very specific Examine configuration to have in place - https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Fundamentals/Setup/Server-Setup/azure-web-apps#recommended-configuration ...

    Otherwise be careful when deploying your site, not to copy up the Examine Indexes from your development environment!

    Occaisionally the Examine files might get 'locked' after a deploy - that's when the rebuild button is handy in the backoffice.

    regards

    Marc

    Cheers Mark,

    Just wanted to know confirmation on how index is updated. It did not update when i unpublished a node, but when like you say rebuilt the index from back office. This reflected in the unpublished node omitted from search results.
