Summary

Location

The current location of the index. When an index is created, it is automatically created in the same location as its associated store. Each index can be maintained in the same location as its associated store however it can be moved if required.

Messages Indexed

Shows the number of messages in the store which have been indexed, ready for searching.

Messages in Store

Shows the number of messages in the store - this is the total number of messages -i.e. messages that have been indexed and messages which are not yet indexed.

Index Size

Shows the physical file size of the index file. Note that file types associated with each index are .ix, .dat, .tmp and .log. For further information please see moving an existing index.

Batch Indexing Frequency

If a store contains 5000 messages or fewer, the system forces an index update automatically every two seconds (because there are relatively few messages, this has no impact upon performance). Once a store exceeds 5000 messages, the frequency with which an index is updated is determined via data settings for the associated store.  

Auto Defragment Frequency

Over time, the search index for a store may become fragmented and so less efficient. Using data settings for the associated store, you can specify the frequency with which the index is automatically defragmented (or you can choose to never run the defragmentation process).

Current Batch Size

Shows the number of messages which are waiting to be indexed.

Last Batch Update

Shows when the index was last updated.
