Hello, Once a week sometimes twice a week DMX search will stop working. If you do a search it will bring back nothing. So I have to re-index the site which works fine. My question is why would the search stop so often? Also could I schedule the re-index to happen on a daily or weekly basis? I do not see anything in the program to do this. I am using, DNN 5.4.1 Community Ed. DMX 5.3.2 Pro Ed. I am using the Lucene search engine. Windows 2003 STD IIS6.0 The files are stored on a network share. Thanks, Stephen

Hi Stephen, we had the same issue over here. Take a look at the site's event log - if there are many failed DMX maintainance tasks, this could be it. When search is not working - do the folder sizes still show up? At our site the maintainance task failed with a SQL timeout during recalculation of the folder sizes. I disabled the the maintainance task and now manually run the SP DMX_RestFolderSizes twice a week through SQL server's schedule. Once a day I wipe the DMX-Temp folder on the server. The issue is gone for us - maybe this could help you. Best from rainy Switzerland, -Chris

Thanks Chris. In addition: you could run the re-indexing task I think as follows: - on the server create a task to call up the web page of the task (grab the url when you run it) - make sure it is automatically authenticated This might work. I've never done it before but it just might work. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
