Unable to Manage the Search Service

From: monster on 3 Dec 2006 16:06 The situation has somewhat improved, though search is still broken For some reason, sharepoint would not automatically delete the indexes when I removed the index component from the job server. After hours of research/trouble shooting, I used catutil to manually delete the indexes. All was good right? Nope! Even that didnt work. I went to the physical location of the indexes (after a few more hours of getting no where) and noticed the following files were blue: res1.log res2.log I deleted these files, removed/readded the index component to the job server (again), and sharepoint finally began to recreate the index catalogs. Success!! A short lived success that is. SharePoint wont crawl the portal. Each time I try to begin a new crawl, sharepoint will immediately go into an Idle state. At the top of my screen, I see in red: To include this content in the index, click Exclude and include portal site Web Part Pages in the General Content Settings and Indexing Status section. I'm not sure why that is being displayed. Our crawl settings are exactly the same as the settings in a default installation. I'm gonna try a few more things and if it doesnt work out I'll try apply sp2 to resolve the event errors that is constantly occurring. They are: Microsoft SharePoint service: 9000, 7010, 7039, 7037 ESE: 455 Apparenlty SP2 fixes those issues and hopefully will resolve the issues I'm experiencing with our portal search capabilties. If that doesnt work, I'll just rebuild =/ richard.markiewicz wrote: > If the situation is really critical you might think about opening a > support ticket. > > However - on the Sharepoint media there is a support\tools folder with > a program called (I think) catutil.exe.
