ics:indexcreate

Creates a search index.

Syntax

<ics:indexcreate 
      index="index name"
      charset="character set"
      [searchengine="name"]/>

Parameters

index (required)

Full path name of the index to create.

searchengine (optional)

Name of the search engine to use. If searchengine is not specified, Content Server uses the value of cs.searchengine from the Content Server properties file.

Description

The ics:indexcreate tag creates a search index. For AltaVista, this creates the directory where the index is stored. For Verity, however, this creates a more complex base structure for the index in the directory specified by the index parameter. In particular, it needs to create the structures that hold the field information for the index. Therefore, the fields that are used must be specified using ics:fieldargument tags when the index is created.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value	Description
-801	Cannot load search engine.
-802	Unsupported search function. Content Server 3.0 and earlier returned this error; however, Content Server 3.1 and higher no longer return this error.
-803	Create index failed.
-805	No default index specified.
-806	Unknown search engine.
-811	Could not call native method.
-815	Duplicate field values. (Verity only)
-819	Unrecognized field type. (Verity only)
-822	Index already exists.(Verity only)

Example

The following example creates an AltaVista search index in the directory
c:/search/avindex. Note that index fields are not predefined for AltaVista indexes.

<ics:clearerrno/>
<ics:indexcreate index="c:/search/avindex" searchengine="AV"/>

<ics:if condition=<%ics.GetErrno() != 0%>'>
<ics:then>
  Report error
</ics:then>
</ics:if>
