Optimizing the Search Server index in Enterprise Server 9

Search Servers work by searching an index rather than the actual files in the database. Some Search Servers need to have their indexes optimized once in a while.

Do one of the following:

• If Solr is your ‘only’ Search Server, no action is required. This is because indexing Solr hardly takes any time at all and is therefore done automatically/implicitly during the Solr indexing process.
• If you have a Search Server installed other than Solr, check its documentation to find out if optimizing is required.
• When in doubt about the above mentioned bullets, or if optimizing is required, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Access the Search Server Maintenance page.
