Hi
Are there any limits to the number of files the search index can process on W2008 R2 ? We have a file server which is connected via iSCSI to an external SAN device. The data volume is approx. 2TB in size. The indexing server role has been added.
The status of the "Indexing Options" constantly says "Indexing in progress. Search results might not be complete during this time". The value of the items indexed increases and decreases over time but never shows complete - it shows around 4,500,000 items indexed.
Also - the size of the .edb file in the index location is around 10GB - is this excessive ? The index has been rebuilt previously.
Searches, both via clients and on the file server itself, are very slow - it can take anything up to 10 mins to bring up results.
Thanks
John
