RMS can create a report that identifies potential duplicate records in the search index repository. The information in the report can be used to remove unwanted duplicate records resulting in reduced space requirements and improved search performance. RMS reports potential duplicate records, but will not delete any records.
Duplicate detection is far more efficient with Record Search indexes. If you have an ASSA search index with more than a hundred thousand records, it is advisable to create a temporary Record Search index from the same record source and to detect duplicates on that before removing the duplicates.
Duplicates cannot be identified in imported search indexes or in search indexes that are not loaded.
