3. In PlanetPress Search, choose Options | RebuildDatabase.
PlanetPress Search prompts you to confirm the rebuild.
4. Click Yes to confirm.
PlanetPress Search populates each record in the database with the information from all of the PDI files associated with
the document referenced by that record. When it completes this operation, the newly rebuilt database is available for
searching.
Refresh the Contents of a Database
The procedure here describes how to refresh a database from PlanetPress Search.
A refresh of a database can only add information on new files added to archive folders since the last refresh or rebuild of the
database. It cannot remove information from the database and thus cannot reflect deletions of, or modifications made to,
PDFs already included in the database. For example, if you delete a PDF file from the archive folder and then refresh the data-
base, the entries for that PDF remain in the database, and can appear in search results, even though their associated PDF file
is no longer available for viewing or printing.
If you want to be certain that the database reflects the current state of the archive folders it references, you should rebuild the
database. See "Rebuild the Contents of a Database" (page 19).
You can clear the Ignore file date option in the Search Folders dialog box to have PlanetPress read only those PDI files whose
creation date is more recent than the date of the last refresh of this database. This reduces the time required to refresh the
database, particularly when only a few PDI files have changed since the last refresh.
You can automatically refresh a database when you load it in PlanetPress Search. See "Set User Options" (page 12), and in par-
ticular, the Refresh databases option in the Database options. The LastUpdate entry in the search profile records the date of
the last refresh or rebuild of the database.
To refresh a database from PlanetPress Search:
1. If necessary, load one of the search profiles that reference the database you want to refresh. The search profile you
load must permit database refreshes and rebuilds. In a network installation, it is common to restrict permission to
update databases to the database administrator. See "Database Considerations in a Network Installation" (page 41).
2. In PlanetPress Search, choose Options | RefreshDatabase.
PlanetPress Search refreshes the database.
Updating a Search Database: Refresh vs. Rebuild
If the contents of an archive folder change, you must either refresh or rebuild the search databases that reference those
archive folders to make the changes available in PlanetPress Search.
A refresh of a database can only add information on new files added to archive folders since the last refresh. It cannot remove
any information from the database. This means that files deleted from an archive folder continue to appear as entries in the
search database, even though the associated PDF source files are no longer available for viewing or printing. In this case you
must rebuild the database to have it reflect the current state of the archive folders.
