This tab is available only if your SuperOffice installation is onsite. If you are using the online solution, your cannot make any changes to these settings. For SuperOffice Online, the free-text index is regenerated every 7 days by default.

To regenerate a free-text index you must belong to the User level 0 role (or equivalent). On Oracle databases, you must be the user who is the database owner.

When you add or delete new stopwords, your changes do not have a retroactive effect. This means that if you enter and as a stopword and already have many occurrences of and in the database, they will not be automatically removed from the free-text index. The change applies only to occurrences of and that you add from then on. In some cases it may be appropriate to update the free-text index, so that all stopwords are removed from it.

To regenerate the free-text index

  1. Select Options in the Navigator. Then select the Free text search tab.

  2. Make sure the Enable freetext search option is selected.

  3. Click the Regenerate Freetext Index button.

  4. A message is displayed to the effect that it can take a long time to generate a new index and that users cannot access the free-text search function during this period. Click OK. A window opens showing the progress of the regeneration process. When this disappears, the new free-text index is ready.
