A rebuild of a search database rebuilds it from scratch. Thus when you rebuild a database, you can change the archive folders

you want to include in the database.

See "Refresh the Contents of a Database" (page 20) and "Rebuild the Contents of a Database" (page 19) for help refreshing

and rebuilding a database.

Save a Search Profile

You can save the currently loaded search profile at any point. It is important to understand that PlanetPress Search also auto-

matically saves the currently loaded search profile both when you switch to a different profile and when you exit PlanetPress

Search. Thus for example, if you save a search profile and subsequently modify the user options for that search profile, Plan-

etPress Search automatically saves those subsequent modifications when you load a different profile or exit PlanetPress

Search.

To save the currently loaded search profile:

l Choose File | Save to update the contents of the search profile.

Note that you can also choose File | SaveAs to save the contents of the search profile to a different file. In this case,

PlanetPress Search saves the contents of the currently loaded profile and then immediately loads the contents of the

newly saved file. This is one way to create a new profile. See Create a New Search Profile from an Existing One.

Load a Search Profile

This procedure describes how to switch to another search profile during a PlanetPress Search session. Recall that you can

have a single search profile loaded at any one time in PlanetPress Search. When you switch search profiles, PlanetPress

Search replaces the currently loaded search profile with the one you select.

To switch search profiles during a PlanetPress Search session:

l Do one of the following:

l If the search profile to which you want to switch is among the last five loaded, choose File and choose that pro-

file in the list of recently used search profiles that appears below the Save As menu item.

l Choose File | Open, and in the Open Profile/Database dialog box that appears, navigate to the search pro-

file you want to load and click Open.

PlanetPress Search replaces the currently loaded search profile with the search profile you selected. The name

of newly loaded search profile now appears as the topmost item in the list of recently used search profiles in the

PlanetPress SearchFile menu.

Note that if PlanetPress Search cannot establish the connection to the database specified in the profile, it dis-

plays an error message. Click OK to return to the PlanetPress Search Program window.

Edit a Search Profile

Recall that with the exception of the ReadOnly and ShrinkToFit entries, all entries in a search profile are either set through

the PlanetPress Search user interface or maintained automatically by PlanetPress Search. Unless you need to edit one of these

two entries, or for some reason cannot set an entry to the value you want through the user interface (for example, if you need

to customize the connection string set in the DatabaseDirectory entry), it is recommended that you make modifications

through the PlanetPress Search user interface.

To edit a search profile:

1. Verify that the search profile you want to edit is not currently loaded in PlanetPress Search. PlanetPress Search only

reads the contents of a search profile when it loads it, and only updates the contents of the currently loaded search pro-

file when it either switches to a new profile during a session or exits completely. Thus, if you open the currently loaded
