Creating and updating full-text indexes for single databases
As you create a full-text index for a database, select indexing options and update frequency options carefully, as they can affect server disk space and processing speed.
About this task
Domino® stores the index file in a subdirectory of the directory where the database file is located, usually the Domino data directory. The name of this subdirectory is filename.FT, where filename is the file name of the indexed database -- for example, /EMPLOYEE.FT. The full-text directory must reside in the directory in which the corresponding database resides. The full-text directory must reside in the directory in which the corresponding database resides.
You must periodically update full-text indexes on servers to keep them synchronized with changes to the databases. When you create an index, you can either accept the default schedule for updating it (nightly at 2 AM) or specify a different schedule. You can modify this setting at any time.
You can also do manual index updates for server databases at any time from the Domino Administrator.
