  • To debug text indexing problems, you may want to view text_index events in the system log.
  • In rare cases, you may need to reset the text search caches after regenerating a text index. If text search fails for known words, diagnose and fix this problem:

Procedure

  1. Enable text search debugging messages.

  2. In any table with search problems, search for the problem text.

  3. In the debug output, note the numbers used for the Stemmed terms.

  4. Navigate to the Ts Word [ts_word] table's list view.

    1. Select All.

    2. In the Filter field, enter ts_word.list.

    3. Press Enter.

  5. Locate the stemmed terms and compare the numbers in the list to the debug output from step 3.

    If the numbers are different, the UI node's cache is stale.

  6. Navigate to All > System Definition > Text Indexes.

  7. Select the Reset Text Search Caches related link and select OK.
