Indexing or reindexing search after the upgrade

After your upgrade, (re)indexing of the search index is required.

About this task

If you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2009 SP1, note that the new Lucene-based search engine may return different search results to your search queries than the old Verity search engine it replaces. Specifically, operator precedence (in search queries such as a AND b OR c) is different. You can work around the problem by using brackets to indicate precedence.

Procedure

  1. On the Content Manager server machine, start Windows PowerShell (64-bit version) and execute the following command from the PowerShell command prompt:
    Import-Module Tridion.ContentManager.Automation
    PowerShell loads the assembly.
  2. To reindex all Publications, from the PowerShell command prompt, enter the command Sync-TcmSearchIndex.
    The command creates a new search index.
  3. Next, restart the Tridion Content Manager Search Host Windows service as above.
