Indexing Helix Search from the web page

Important

You must be an admin user to perform indexing in Helix Search.

To index Helix Search from the web UI:

  1. Select Account arrow from the top navigation bar.

  2. Select Indexing and the Indexing page is displayed.

  3. Slide Index Everything switch to enable or disable indexing your Helix Core Server.

    Note

    Perforce recommends you only enable the Index Everything switch the first time you index or re-index on a small server. Indexing your entire Helix Core Server database can take a long time to complete.

  4. Slide Force Update switch to enable or disable re-indexing of existing indexed changes.

    • When Force Update is enabled, Helix Search updates existing changes.

    • When Force Update is disabled, Helix Search skips changes that have already been indexed.

  5. In the Revision Ranges tab, enter the Helix Server change number you want to start indexing from and the change number you want to stop indexing at.

  6. In the Depot Path tab, enter the depot path to index.

  7. In the User tab, enter the name of the Helix Server user.

  8. Click Execute button.

    A dialog appears providing information about the indexing operation.

  9. Click Continue to start indexing.
