Manually Indexing Sources

Before performing a query in the search interface, the index must be populated; therefore, the sources configured must be crawled. Because this process requires considerable CPU resources, this operation is scheduled to be automatically executed at 12 AM.

You can however index one or more sources manually at any time.

To manually index sources

1. On the Coveo server, access the Administration Tool (see Opening the Administration Tool).

2. In the Administration Tool, select Index > Sources and Collections.

3. In the Sources and Collections page:

   • To index all the sources of a collection, in the Collections section:

      

     1. Select the check box for one or more collections that you want to index.

     2. In the More Actions drop-down list, select Rebuild.

   • To index specific sources of a collection, in the Collections section, click the collection, and in the Sources section:

     1. Select the check box for one or more sources that you want to index.

     2. In the More Actions drop-down list, select Rebuild.
