Managing a Document Store Index

Index all the new and updated documents, unify the index stripes, or remove an index from a document store.

Prerequisites

Before you start working on indexing, ensure that the Search server is up and running.

An indexing session describes all data collected during the pass of a document store’s indexer. Data for all documents is collected during the first indexing session; subsequent indexing sessions collect data for new documents, modified documents, and deleted documents. Thus, the amount of data collected during two different indexing sessions can vary dramatically.

Document Store Index
Indexing is collecting data about the documents in a document store. Generically, the proprietary data structures of the document store are called indexes.
Creating an Incremental Index
Run an incremental index for a file system or passive document store to index all the new and updated documents.
Unifying an Index
Periodicaly, unify index stripes into a single stripe to optimize performance. This unification process purges data marked for deletion and consolidates the indexed data structure.
Dropping an Index
Remove an unused index from a file system document store or from a passive document store.
