I have been routinely experiencing the search warning: "Search results might be incomplete because items are being indexed". Why is it that the search indexer can't just run at night, on a specific set schedule? When it runs during the day, I can't find any of my emails during normal business working hours.
Is there a way to schedule the search indexing process? Side note--I'm using an SSD, so is the indexing process even necessary? Should I just turn off the Windows search indexing process entirely?
Really? No way to schedule the search indexer process? Ridiculous! – FurryWombat – 2015-03-25T22:04:39.137
How many e-mails do you have? How many new e-mail come per hour? How big is your documents directory? How much space is free on the SSD (what percentage is currently utilized)? – Sun – 2015-03-25T22:13:14.567
500GB SSD with 65GB used space (13% utilization). About three years of emails... so, around 150,000 inbound and 90,000 outbound. I receive about 150 per day, and send about 90-150. – FurryWombat – 2015-03-25T22:16:27.157
You can manually turn on/off with
net stop wsearch
or start of course. Easy to add that to a schedule but see the other comments. My question is whether it is actually the client side index that is the problem or a server-side index (MS Exchange)? – Julian Knight – 2015-03-25T22:18:46.763@Julian Knight So, unless I am mistaken, the solution would be to add a task that runs command-line: 1) "net stop wsearch", 2) "net start wsearch" every day at 1AM. – FurryWombat – 2015-03-25T22:22:14.190
Yes, but as sunk818 says, are you really sure you understand the ramifications. You can stop and start whenever you link but I don't think it will help. Are you using Exchange? – Julian Knight – 2015-03-25T22:25:14.783
Yes I'm using Exchange. I understand the ramifications. Just hate not being able to search my emails during normal working hours. – FurryWombat – 2015-03-25T22:26:59.227
Do you need to search 240k emails every time you perform a search? How far back (date wise) do you typically need to search for the e-mail you need? – Sun – 2015-03-25T22:39:34.170
Not every time, but surely, often. – FurryWombat – 2015-03-25T22:54:47.243
