Contour leverages the search engine Lucene to provide users with a high quality experience. Periodically Items within Contour need to be re-indexed to ensure proper display, sorting, Filtering and searching. Common activities that would force the need for an index are a database reload, the home directory being deleted or an update made directly to Items in the database.
| 1. | Login as the System Admin (root) user. |
| 2. | Access the Index/Search tab. |
| 3. | Select the Index Items link. |
| 4. | The system will provide a count of the Items within Contour and the estimated time to complete the index. |
| 6. | Contour will alert you when the indexing is complete. |
Note: This will only re-index items which already have an index assigned to them. If you are experiencing problems with indexing, please follow these steps to do a "complete" re-index:
| 1. | Stop your tomcat service |
| 2. | In the contour_home directory, open the search folder |
| 3. | Delete the index folder |
| 4. | Locate the apache-tomcat folder from your root system |
| 5. | Delete the "work" folder |
| 6. | Restart your tomcat service |
| 7. | Login as the System Admin (root) user |
| 8. | Click on the "Index/Search" tab |
| 9. | Click on the "Index Items" button |
