20.3 Optimizing the Lucene Index

If you notice that search performance in Novell Vibe is becoming slower over time, you might want to optimize your Lucene index.

Optimizing the Lucene index does not repair a damaged or out-of-date index. To repair a damaged or out-of-date index, you must rebuild the index, as described in Section 20.4, Rebuilding the Lucene Index.

To optimize the Lucene index:

  1. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

  2. Click the Administration icon Form and View Designers page in the upper right corner of the page.

  3. Under Management, click Search Index.

    Manage the Search Index page

  4. Click the Optimize Search Index tab.

  5. (Conditional) If you have multiple Lucene indexes, select the indexes that you want to optimize.

  6. Click OK.
