The Process tab is used to index, re-index, and remove documents in a Full-Text Search catalog. When a catalog is configured, indexing automatically occurs day-forward for that catalog, but the existing documents in that Document Type (also known as backfile documents) are not immediately available for searches.
Prior to indexing or re-indexing, ensure that enough space is available in the relevant disk groups for the indexing process. At minimum, 10GB of space is recommended.
The Process tab also allows backfile documents to be queued for indexing by entering a date range before the catalog was created. It also allows documents already in a catalog to be re-indexed. Additionally, documents in a catalog can be removed from the catalog.
Only documents in active Full-Text Search catalogs are processed (see Activating or Adding Full-Text Search Catalogs). Documents in processing batches, such as scanning batches, are not processed by Full-Text Search until they are committed.
For information on the current indexing status of documents, see Re-Queuing Documents That Failed to Index.
