Examine error - failed to retrieve indexer details
Hi
Trying to get to grips with Examine. Had site search working great but just trying to exclude certain doc types. I stupidly tried to delete (some were not deleted as they were locked) the examine index files (App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/....) when trying clear the index and test search results.
Now I'm getting an error in back office when going into the Developer section - Server error - failed to retrieve indexer details.
I've checked the log and it looks like the issue is related to missing files.

I don't know the best way to fix this - should I try to rebuild or clear the index and start again?
To exclude specific node types you can update the examineindex.config and set the nodetype aliases there then rebuild your index. Alternatively you can update your search query and exclude there.

Many Thanks Steven
Steven,
Ideally rebuild however in this instance you cannot, so delete the index folder and then the backofice rebuild should work.

Many thanks Ismail - problem solved.
Just need to try and figure out how to get specific node types excluded from the search now!
To exclude specific node types you can update the examineindex.config and set the nodetype aliases there then rebuild your index. Alternatively you can update your search query and exclude there.
