Find In Files not working.

[mdavies]

Currently have SourceGear Vault Professional Version 6.1.0 (30531)
Have been migrating large quantities of source code from Visual SourceSafe. Successful imports so far.
Users have been saying however that "find in files" doesn't work.
May find one or more instances of a string, but not all; and very inconsistent.

In the Admin tool, we have the "Find in Files" option set to "ON" in all repositories.
Vault Professional Plugins for indexing indicate:
http://127.0.0.1/VaultIndexService/Vaul ... rvice.asmx ( source code control) Active
http://SPUSGVAULT.spu.cos.local/VaultSe ... rvice.asmx (source code control) INACTIVE

Questions:
How to activate the plugin listed above as INACTIVE?
How to ensure that indexing is occurring?
What needs to be done to ensure ongoing indexing of new files added to the Vault?
What is the effect of "purging" index data on a repository?
How to "re-index" a repository?
What are the recommended periodic administrative procedures for keeping indexing up to date and working?

thanks in advance for any reply.

How to activate the plugin listed above as INACTIVE?

There's no indication that this relates to the issue. On the Vault Professional Plugins page, change the one you want active to true, but also turn the other one to false. You only need one URL active.

How to ensure that indexing is occurring?

There is a log on the Vault server at %windir%\temp\SGVaultIndex\vaultindexservice.txt. If there are problems, then errors will probably show up in that log.

What needs to be done to ensure ongoing indexing of new files added to the Vault?

If everything is working correctly, this should just happen.

What is the effect of "purging" index data on a repository?

It clears out the indexing data so that when it is turned on again the indexing data is recreated.

How to "re-index" a repository?

Turn indexing off and purge the index data. Then turn it back on.

What are the recommended periodic administrative procedures for keeping indexing up to date and working?

There is nothing specific here beyond general SQL maintenance: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=2924.

To troubleshoot your issue, can you either post or email your log files %windir%\temp\SGVaultIndex\vaultindexservice.txt and %windir%\temp\sgvault\sgvault.log? If you send this in an email, you can send it to support at sourcegear.com with a link to this email thread.
