Pergunta
I started a full crawl during the day because I created some managed metada columns and needed to have them showing on the search results. After experiencing really slow performance, I stopped it and decided to wait for the overnight full crawl.
For some reason after users started complaining about performance again, I went to the search service application and noted that a full was being run. This left me a bit perplexed, because after double checking, the full is only scheduled to run overnight. Is it possible that the search service application auto starts a full crawl if it is stopped manually?
Solução
A Full Crawl can be triggered from a few things.
- Stopping an incremental crawl
- restoring or adding databases
- crawl account is changed
- Change log does not contain URL's being crawled
- full crawl never completed
You have to complete a full crawl before any incremental can run again.
