Index Browser Available Actions

Using the Index Browser, you can perform a number of actions on one or more documents or folders.

The following conditions affect the availability of some of the actions: 

• Source type must support the action.

• User must have required permissions (see About Administration Roles).

• Some actions are unavailable when indexing is disabled (see Disabling or Enabling Indexing).

The following table presents the actions that you can apply as a function of the document selection type from the Index Browser.

Actions	Description	Single document	Multiple documents	One or more folders
Refresh	The selected document(s) or folder(s) that were modified since the last indexing are deleted and re-indexed.	✓	✓	✓
Rebuild	The selected document(s) or folder(s) are deleted from the index, and then re-indexed.	✓	✓	✓
Remove from Index and Add Exclusion Filters	The selected document(s) or folder(s) are removed from the index and an exclusion filter is created to prevent their re-indexing (see Adding or Modifying Source Filters).	✓	✓	✓
Add an Exclusion Filter	The selected document(s) or folder(s) are subjected to an exclusion filter. However, they are not deleted until the next refresh or rebuild.	✓	✓	✓
Remove from index	The selected document(s) or folder(s) are removed from the index. They are re-indexed if a rebuild or refresh is performed, because no exclusion filter is created for their path.	✓	✓	✓
Add Top Result	A Top Result is created for the selected document(s) and a dialog box appears to let you enter the corresponding queries (see About Top Results in .NET Search Interfaces).	✓	✓
View Source	The Administration Tool Status page appears for the source containing the document to allow you to review the source state (see What Information Is Displayed in the Status Page?).	✓
