1.6.1.2.2. Combined viewer for Geo, Full-text and LinkDB index

In the dialog box Manage index, you have a complete overview on how many projects are indexed in each type of index (Geo index (divided in Geo, Topo and Partial [only for catalogs accordingly prepared]| Full-text index | LinkDB index [after switching to LinkDB top left]).

Here, you can generate the index for single folders, projects and even lines (similar to Manage fingerprints in V11).

Dialog box "Manage index"

Dialog box "Manage index"

Preconditions

With V12 there is a new index which considerably enhances search possibilities and is activated under $CADENAS_SETUP/partsol.cfg in the following key:

[INDEX:LUCENE]
JavaLucene=1

Even if there is a complete V11 index, for V12, the Full-text index has to be completely regenerated. Furthermore also the LinkDB index has to be regenerated, because it also uses the new index type. The Geo index is correctly displayed immediately, however, it should also be regenerated, because there are new algorithms which will improve the search options.

The figure shows the situation with the (missing) new index after freshly installed V12. Only for "ANSI / ASME", "commonpool" and "Assistent" catalog, the new index has already been created.
