Managing Existing Index Files
Once created, an index can then be edited or deleted. You can also view an
index’s log file. (See “Working with the Log File” on page 154)

the index you want to work with.
2 Make any of the changes you need to and then click Apply Settings.
HINT: If you used the Advanced page to create the index, it will appear
automatically. However, you can also click Advanced Index Definition to make
advanced changes to an index you created using the standard Index Definition
page.
3 If you added new paths or URLs, you should regenerate the index to
include the new content.
Deleting an Index
1 From the indexing Management page, click Delete in the Action column
of the index you want to delete.
2 n the Confirm Deletion of indexname page, click Delete Index to proceed,
or click Cancel Deletion.
Working with the Log File
The log file reports what happened during an indexing job. In addition to
reporting when the indexing job started and stopped, it also lists all files that
were indexed, files that could not be found but were linked to, and even errors
that might have occurred during the indexing process.
The purpose of the log file is to help you identify any errors (and their possible
causes) in performance during an indexing job. Log files reveal what was or
was not indexed, the total number of files that were indexed, and the time that
it took to index. Log files also help you determine what might have caused an
index failure.
