  1. Log on to the machine running DSpace.
  2. Change directory to dspace/bin.
  3. Run the re-indexing script
    • (Linux or Mac OSX)
      Code Block
      ./index-all
    • (Windows) run from command prompt
      Code Block
      ./dsrun org.dspace.browse.InitializeBrowse
      Code Block
      ./dsrun org.dspace.search.DSIndexer
  4. Stop and restart Tomcat (See Quick Restart in Rebuild + DSpace).

Notes:

  • This process re-creates DSpace's search and browse indices. Run it after anything you do to the install that could change the content of these indices (e.g. manually changing metadata, withdrawing items). In addition, run it if you decide to change your searchable metadata fields (see Modify+search+fields).
  • You may wish to have a scheduled process (e.g.cron) to re-index DSpace daily. Lots of little changes that add up over time without a re-indexing can cause DSpace's search function to become erratic.
