It has been quite a while since I posted and I am going to try to get back in the habit. There has been many things going on at my job and this has led to several opportunities to try new tools and applications. Over the next couple of days, I will attempt to outline some my thoughts and opinions.
Posted by wilsongis Working With the Windows Server 2003 Indexing Service
November 19, 2008Before you select a location, there are a couple of things that you need to know. First, you should never place a catalog file into a folder that’s being indexed. The reason is because Windows monitors indexed folders for changes. If you were to add a file to the folder, Windows would update the catalog. Windows would then see that the catalog has been updated, and reindex the folder again. It’s a pretty vicious cycle, so it’s best to just choose a non indexed location.
The other thing that you need to know is that if you are indexing Web content, you shouldn’t place the index in or beneath the wwwroot folder. Doing so slows down both the Indexing Service and IIS.
