Rebuild keywords

If search results are not as you expect, you might need to rebuild one or more of the keyword indexes.

Example: An Author search for Rhodes produces no search results even though you know that your database contains titles by Rhodes.

Important: Contact Follett Technical Support before rebuilding the keyword indexes. The To rebuild keywords section summarizes the procedure.

The keyword rebuilding may take a long time. In addition, even though this process defaults to running in the background, it may increase response times for Destiny users.

To rebuild keywords

1. Stop the Destiny Service.
2. From the \FSC-Destiny\fsc\districtResources directory, move the \indexes directory to a temporary folder on the drive.
   This serves as a backup of the current indexes that you could restore if a server event (for example, a power outage) occurs while the keywords are being rebuilt.
3. Start the Destiny Service.
4. From a command prompt, change to the \FSC-Destiny\fsc\bin directory.
5. Run the command, below.
6. When the utility has finished, retry a search to confirm that you receive the expected results.
   If you do not, contact Follett Technical Support.
7. Once a search confirms that the keywords are correctly indexed, delete the backup copy of the \indexes folder created in step 2.
