Index Maintenance

PeopleSoft Search Technology provides a search administration interface that you use to deploy search definitions and categories and to schedule index builds. You can build indexes in two modes: full mode or incremental mode. Use the full mode to build an index for the first time or to rebuild it from scratch. After an index has been built, use incremental builds to update it.

PeopleSoft Recruiting Solutions tracks the last updated date and time for all indexed objects. The PeopleSoft Search Framework uses this information to recognize data changes that need to be incorporated into the search index during incremental index builds. The time lag before an index reflects data changes depends on the indexing schedule that the search administrator configures.

See Deploying and Building Recruiting Search Indexes for instructions on building the recruiting search indexes. For more detailed information about search tools, refer to PeopleTools: Search Technology
