Rebuilding Mail's search index?

A few days ago, I activated FileVault. Spotlight has been reindexing my computer since then and in Mail in particular, the search results are very disappointing, i.e. most messages have apparently not been reindex so far.
Can I somehow force Mail to rebuild its search index?
Daniel

What type of searches are we talking about here?
All types of searches, i.e. e-mail I had received before I activated FileVault cannot be found.
I've meanwhile deactivated FileVault and Spotlight is now reindexing my Mac, hopefully including all my e-mail …

Rebuild Search Indexes

Rebuilding the search indexes is easy enough in Exchange 2013 but should this be done after hours or is it safe to do this during the day? Have some users complaining they cant find some items when they search, would like to remedy now. 8 node
dag environment, 20k users.
Rich

This can be done during business hours with one DB each time, but only if the environment is not over utilized

Can not find some messages in Mail using search

I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

Hi lnaki vila
I'm using pi 7.0 version
i can see the other scenarios like SOAP to RFC, SOAP to IDOC,FILEto IDOC
in sender side i'm not using any communication channel and adapter engine i'm just using http client tool for testing purpose
i'm getting the response that's fine because its a synchronous communication
i checked sxmb_adm in that -->integration configuration LOGGING parameter of category RUNTIME is set to ENGINE_TYPE and current value is HUB(Integration server)

Mail cannot search email by full text

Starting sometime in 10.7.2, my Mail can no longer search my emails with keywords. The only working one is search by contact.
Spotlight can still search email by full-text, but it is barely usable for my purpose.
Upgrading to 10.7.4 did not fix this problem.
I have tried:
1) vacuum mail envelops
2) rebuilding mail boxes a few times
3) repair disk permissions
4) reset spotlight index
none of them helped.
Very frustrated and do not know how to fix this. I currently rely on Sparrow for my emails...
Any other suggestions? Thanks!

After creating a new user account, importing all the mails form the IMAP server to that account, and finding that full text search was broken in that new and virgin user account, too, I contacted Apple support. They walked me through repairing disk permissions and the spotlight index.
When this did not help, they told me to RE-INSTALL 10.8.2 WITHOUT DELETING my home folder / private files. Finally, this solved the issue for me! There must have been something wrong deep within the system.

Search indexing not working in Outlook PST files

My boss recently got Office 2010 on his new laptop. I copied his PST's from his old laptop whihc had Office 2003 on it to the new one and added them to his profile. They are there and look to be workign fine, until you try any sort of search
on them.
If I am looking at the eMails in the PST and I see a whole lot from
[email protected] and then in the search box I type
[email protected] the emails are all firltered away and I am told that there are no items that match the criteria. This also happens when I try try to run an advanced search.
So according to this post,
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/b1859770-dfb5-4224-995f-be828bd21333, I disabled Indexing of outlook, then search stops working on my default location, i.e. if I search my inbox or anything in that datafile, I get
no results returned, but if I search one of the archieve PST files for say
[email protected] the search runs for ages with out retunring any results, if I stop the search and then rerun it then I get results.
It just seems a bit strange that I have to choose iether or.
Please help ASAP as my boss leave tomorrrow on a trip to Australia and I would like to get this sorted out be fore he leave.

This seems to be an ongoing problem. The instant search feature in Outlook 2010 is not working correctly for a large number of users. I have read many, many posts here in TechNet and many more that come up with a Google search. None of the solutions provided
are permanently solving the problem.
I have tried every potential solution I have found:
Rebuilding the index did not work
The registry key(s) PrevenIndexingOutlook, PreventIndexingEmailAttachments, did not exist (the Search Key did not exist). I tried adding both keys in 2 different suggested locations (HKCU and HKLM) Search indexing did not work with or without those keys
added.
I have tried everything that I have found everwhere to resolve this problem. I found one solution that appeared to work a month or so ago. Unfortunately, I cannot find it again and no new emails have been added to the index since that day (09/15/2010).
I tried rebuilding the index (again). This process has removed all of the emails from the index that had been there after I applied the fix that seemed to work. I am continuing to research this problem in the hope that I will find that previous partial solution.
It would be nice to get some feedback from Microsoft to let us know if this problem is being looked into. All of the solutions provided from Microsoft on these forums have failed to correct this long term problem.
FYI: I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and Office Professional Plus 2010. These were fresh installs, not upgrades. After installation the instant search feature in Outlook was working, I do not know exactly when it stopped working.

Batch option to automatically place the search index path

HI
My company has 1000s of PDFs that we deliver to customers with search capabilities across all documents. We have created the catalog index for these documents, and in the past, we used a plugin called Options to batch set the Search Index path in Document Properties. This was a lot easier and less time consuming than opening every single PDF and manually inputting the path. Before options, it took me well more than a day to do this to every document we deliver. The plugin reduced my time to less than an hour. Very valuabe when in a delivery crunch!!!
But since upgrading to Acrobat X Pro which we need for our Office 2010 upgrade, we have been unable to use the plugin. I am looking for a new solution that can run a process to set this option across all documents. We are not a bunch of people who can go write scripts etc to do this so something off the shelf/ready made would be great.
Any recommendations?

"... manually inputting the path."
That is one method.
While not on your scale I maintain a large "eLibrary" of PDF document collections.
Also provide OSM for distribution of some of the collections.
Each topic has a cataloged index. Each sub-topic has a cataloged index.
For a topic / sub-topic a PDF that the user will land on has the path to its PDX.
The PDF opens, the PDX is mounted, advanced search is available for the respective collection.
The PDX stays 'mounted' until the end-user moves on.
Also, PDXs can be selected from the Search dialog/pane.
The PDX and its associated folder of index files is not in the folder that holds PDF(s) which are periodically updated.
So, update a collection, rebuild the index.
Good to go.
Not as quick as the plug-in but less mind-numbing as the "each PDF manually".
Be well...

Search index - and high availability

Running Search on WFE(A) and APP(B) server - with this topology.
The company relies heavily on the Search Index - so a reset of the index isn't always an option, and the re-build takes a lot of time, so in order to avoid a index reset.
Is it possible to build a server X that holds the Index copy for server A+B and then when a reset is necessary on server A+B - tell SP2013, it now have to utilize the index that "sits" on server X, while rebuilding is done on server A
+ B?
Can I build a separate index for a specific content source/site collection? - so the content source
e.g. "http://contoso.com" are in search indexY and the "http://contoso.com/sites/" is in IndexZ - and that way only reset indexZ and not touch indexY?
Does a second "Search Service Application" contribute/solve any?

Hi,
1.Yes,you can add a new index partition consists of server A and server X(replica) , and add another index partition consists of server B and server Y(replica). For more information, you can refer to the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj862355(v=office.15).aspx#Search_Index_Part
2.No，you cannot. But you can reset index at site level and list level.
https://support.office.com/en-US/article/Manually-request-crawling-and-reindexing-of-a-site-9afa977d-39de-4321-b4ca-8c7c7e6d264e
3.No, you donot need to create a seacond "Search Service Application".

Eric

Search index problem

One of my clients is having a strange Oracle Text problem (oracle 8), and I would be greatful for any help.
Essentially, I have built a context index on a table as follows:
drop index search_partner_name;
create index search_partner_name on PARTNER(NAME)
indextype is ctxsys.context;
The PARTNER table contains many other columns.
Now, when one of the other columns is modified (e.g. PARTNER.URL) I can no longer search for the PARTNER.NAME until I rebuild the index.
I understand that I have to rebuild the index if I create a new PARTNER.NAME row, but rebuilding for updates to non-indexed columns seems a little strange.
Any pointers?

Hello Phil
In order to limit a Search iView to a specific index(es), create a Search Options set and assign it to your iView.
To create a Search Options Set, go to System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > User Interface > Search (advanced options) > Search Options Set. The parameter to pay attention to in a Search Options Set for this specific purpose is the Search Index IDs (or Index Groups, depending on how you want to limit the search).
Then, to assign the new Search Options Set to your Search iView, open the iView for editing in the Portal Content Directory, and enter the name of your Search Options Set in the corresponding iView parameter.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Fallon

App-V Office 2013 MLCFG32.cpl and Search indexing

Hi there,
I used the ODT to make an app-v package of office 2013. However when I try to load the mlcfg32.cpl it displays the following error:
The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.
I start the cpl from the following location:
C:\ProgramData\App-V\D24C3BDD-8FAD-44D3-998C-933F8F053682\764C2E31-0B14-4E44-818A-2836992E7EA6\Root\Office15
Also the search indexing isn't working in Outlook 2013, whenever I try to load the indexing status it keeps on loading with no result. I wanted to remove the profile from Outlook 2013, but with no mlcfg32.cpl it's very hard.
I also tried a repair of the application with no result.
Why is there so little information on packaging office 2013 in combination with App-v from Microsoft?

Well the package should be published globally, in the policy the global refresh is enabled. However when I look at the settings of the application I see the following:

Embedded Search Index AND Document Security?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.7.
It appears that I cannot have both an embedded search index and restricted security (e.g., password required to change document) on the same document.
Why is that?
If I start with security ON and then attempt to embed a search index, I get below error message:
A search index can not be embedded in this document because this document has restricted security permissions.
If I start with security OFF, successfully embed a search index, and then secure the document, Acrobat "strips off" the previously embedded search index. No warning message; no feedback to end-user; just kills it!
Why are those two functions mutually exclusive? Anyone know of a work-around?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
As to "why", that might be floating out there in Adobe's devnet space or in one of the blogs maintained by Adobe's devnet crew.
Also good to know about use of embedded index - if used, cannot apply fast web view to the PDF. It is one or the other, but not both.
Work around? I've not come across one; but, that does not mean something isn't "out there" <g>.
Be well...

How to stop Mail from searching for sender's image?

When I'm going through messages in Mail, it won't display the message in the preview pane for several seconds until it completes the "Searching for sender's image" process. I have a large address book with several thousand entries. Is there a way to prevent Mail from searching for the contact's image in the Address Book? This wasn't an issue in 10.4.11.
Here's a screenshot:
http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/6007/001rz6.jpg

The iPhone data plans are unlimited, so you shouldnt be concerned about cost. That being said, it is ANNOYING to have all accounts (I have six) check email just because I launch the mail app. And if I follow a URL in an email to Safari, then come back to Mail, it checks AGAIN.
Nope, there is not way to stop if from doing that short of turning the account OFF under Mail Settings, which is even MORE inconvenient. I went to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and left them a message. Perhaps you should do the same.

Search index not working in String

Hello all,
     I am using String.search(any sentence) in Flash builder 4. If my sentence to be searched include some special characters such as (), then String.search()
     returns -1 although that sentence is present in the text. However, if I used to search the same sentence without the special characters, it returns the
     appropriate index. Any help will be greatful.
-Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
The text is
Volcanic ash guidelines are drawn up by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations body, but experts say there is no commonly agreed safe concentration of ash.
“The ICAO regulation that has prompted this widespread grounding is from experience gained from over 80 incidents between 1980 and 2000 and computer modeling (or) best guestimate,” said aviation consultant Chris Yates.
Now when I search
“The ICAO regulation that has prompted this widespread grounding is from experience gained from over 80 incidents between 1980 and 2000 and computer modeling (or) best guestimate,” said aviation consultant Chris Yates.
It returns -1.
However if I remove special characters () and perform search on
“The ICAO regulation that has prompted this widespread grounding is from experience gained from over 80 incidents between 1980 and 2000 and computer modeling ,
it returns proper search index .

Search Index hangs on large files

I am using the 6.1 SP4 Web Server on Windows XP. I have the default search application working. My problem is adding MS Word documents to the collection. Word documents of the size 25KB work, but when I add a large Word document 6934KB it just hangs with no CPU activity going on.
Is there a work around or a parameter that needs to changed to allow larger sized files to be indexed in the collection?

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but you may want to try increasing the amount of memory the search indexer is allowed to use. To do this, you'll need to modify the searchadmin.bat batch file. You can find it in your Web Server's bin\https\bin subdirectory.
First, make a backup copy of searchadmin.bat. Next, open searchadmin.bat in a text editor and replace "-Xmx128m" with "-Xmx1024m". This will allow the search indexer to use up to 8x more memory.
Please let us know whether this helps.
