Email Search is not working correctly on Mailboxes ?
Dear Colleagues ,
I am using exchange 2007 SP3 with update rollup 7 .
Users report that email searching is not correct (e.g : they see 3 emails titled
"Box" but their search only returns 2).
I took below steps :
1-
run "resetsearchindex.ps1 dbname " to reset the index for the problematic db.
2- checked the counter "Full Crawl mode status " for the desire db which
had a value of 0 , meaning the the crawling has finished .
At this
stage contacted the user and still had problem
3- checked that "
Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer " service is running
4- run
"Get-MailboxDatabase |ft Name,IndexEnabled "
which returned TRUE
5-
run "Test-ExchangeSearch -Identity user@domain.com
"
for the
specific user but returned FALSE with search time of -1
these instructions were from below link
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123701(v=exchg.80))
What extra steps should I take to overcome this problem ?
Any
advise is appreciated .
