Trouble-shooting search srd <srd152000[ at ]yahoo.com> 10.07.2006 20:06:33 I have WDS 3 beta installed, seemingly properly, but instant search fails: I get 0 hits. The relevant folders and file types are checked. Almost 50,000 items have been indexed, but I left it overnight, and the same number or almost the same remain showing as indexed. (Unfortunately I didn't record the number, but I think it's the same.) Index Options says "Indexing is paused" and has been saying this every time I check since last night. Could this mean indexing has somehow stalled? When indexing is complete, is there a message to that effect, or is indexing always said to be "paused" when not actually occurring? Does anyone have any ideas about how to troubleshoot this problem? -- Stephen R. Diamond

Re: Trouble-shooting search "Patrick Schmid" <pds-ms[ at ]nospam.pschmid.net> 10.07.2006 20:12:25 Indexing is paused, because you are working on your computer when you go and check it. WDS tries not to index while a user is using the computer. Which relevant folders and file types? Do you mean the two oneindex entries? Try rebuilding the index: Control Panel, Indexing Options, Advanced, Rebuild. Other users have reported that it's a hit or miss thing sometimes...

Re: Trouble-shooting search srd <srd152000[ at ]yahoo.com> 10.07.2006 20:44:11 I had rebuilt the index, because of this same problem. When you say hit or miss, do you mean that several rebuilds may be required till it gets it right? What about when the index is rebuilt, assuming that's the problem--is the index readily corrupted, so that more repeated rebuilds are required? I realize there are no definite answers on this--I'm just asking for your impression based on user reports.
