What are the scenarios where
full crawl will required
Description: Before users can perform searches in SharePoint Server 2013, we must
crawl or federate the content that want to be able to search. When you crawl
content, the Search service builds a search index that users can run queries
(search requests) against. You can also configure the Search system to display
search results from an external provider (such as Bing) alongside the results
from the local search index. The process of getting search results from an
external provider and displaying the results locally is called federation.
crawl will required in below:
Reasons for a Search service application
administrator to do a full crawl for one or more content sources include the following.
In All the below we need to do a full crawl to get the data search.
1.
A Search
service application has just been created and the preconfigured content source Local
SharePoint sites has not been crawled yet.
2.
Some other
content source is new and has not been crawled yet.
3.
The Search
service application administrator has changed a content source.
4.
A software
update or service pack was installed on servers in the farm. See the
instructions for the software update or service pack for more information.
5.
A Search
service application administrator or site collection administrator added or
changed a managed property. A full crawl of all affected content sources is
required for the new or changed managed property to take effect.
6.
You want to
detect security changes that were made to local groups on a file share after
the last full crawl of the file share.
7.
You want to
resolve consecutive incremental crawl failures. If an incremental crawl fails a
large number of consecutive times for any particular content, the system
removes the affected content from the search index.
8.
Crawl rules
have been added, deleted, or modified.
9.
You want to
replace a corrupted search index.
10.
The
permissions for the user account that is assigned to the default content access
account have changed.
The system does a full crawl even when an
incremental crawl or continuous crawl is scheduled under the following
circumstances:
1.
A search
administrator stopped the previous crawl.
2.
A content
database was restored, or a farm administrator has detached and reattached a
content database.
3.
A full
crawl of the content source has never been done from this Search service
application.
4.
The crawl
database does not contain entries for the addresses that are being crawled.
Without entries in the crawl database for the items being crawled, incremental
crawls cannot occur.
