Occassionally, it may be necessary to delete all indexed data for a document store so that the indexes can be completely rebuilt. For example, if the preserved terms or stopwords change, you must delete and reindex all documents to effect the changes. The Drop Indexes function deletes all of a document store's index stripes.
Dropping all index stripes
From the Document Stores page, select a document store and click Index Information.
Click Drop Indexes. All indexed data structures for the current document store are removed from the system.
If you drop a passive document store's indexes, the
external process instrumental in creating them is not notified.
For example, if you drop the indexes of a Web robot's passive document
store, you must also edit the Web robot to re-run with force refresh
enabled, to ensure all pages are redownloaded and reindexed.
