Full-text indexing directory catalogs
A condensed directory catalog should have a full-text index, but a full-text index on an extended directory catalog is optional.
Full-text indexing condensed directory catalogs
About this task
Because a server uses full-text searches rather than view lookups to find any of the following information in a condensed directory catalog, it is important that the directory catalog has a full-text index:
- Names that don't correspond to the selected sort order for the directory catalog
- Soundex fields
Note: Users cannot directly full-text search condensed directory
catalogs.
When you replicate a condensed directory catalog, the replica you create is full-text indexed automatically. However, if you use the file system to make a copy of a condensed directory catalog, the copy is not full-text indexed.
Procedure
- Recreate the full-text index manually if you delete a full-text index from a condensed directory catalog, or use the file system to make a copy of the catalog.
- Because only client users use a condensed directory catalog, conserve disk space by deleting full-text indexes on any server replicas.
Full-text indexing extended directory catalogs
About this task
Procedure
Create a full-text index for an extended directory catalog
if LDAP users use something other than names in search filters, because
these types of LDAP searches use the full-text index.
