Domain Searching in R5
- Thread starter gowest
- Start date
We had the domain search (Platform: AS/400)successfully up and running until the beginning of December - then we upgraded our server to 5.08 and since then we have the problem that for some of our databases the index can't be rebuild. The error message we get is 'Bad Document ID-Key'. The full-text index of the database is also destroyed. This is a known problem at Lotus that they intend to fix in 5.0.10 - very helpful for our users who worked with the index 
Apart from that we experienced the following bugs within the domain search function:
1. Deleted documents are not deleted from the Index --> they still show up when you search and when you try to access them you get the error 'document has been deleted'.
2. For some reason some documents appear several times within a search routine - we haven't found out why yet.
3. The Domain Search Server must be included in the Reader Field of the Document - otherwise it will not include the document in the Index. We have documents where the Server appears only in the Author field, but not in the Reader Field, and they do not get indexed. This is a bug from Lotus (Author fields automatically have Reader rights per deginition).
If you do domain search on file external file systems you have no possibility to enforce the security rights of the file server - that's why we don't use domain search for our external file server.
Regarding Server Performance: If you don't have a powerful machine I would suggest you use a dedicated one for Indexing purposes only. We have the domain indexer task running on our central mail server (currently 1000 users) without any problems.
Overall conclusion: Generally it does work, but not always as expected...
