Search Indexing
| 
PDF |
In order to provide fast searching, JIRA creates an index of the text entered into issue fields. This index is
stored on the filesystem, and updated whenever issue text is added or modified. It is sometimes necessary to
regenerate this index manually; for instance if issues have been manually entered into the database, or the index
has been lost or corrupted.
To get to the indexing page first go to the Administration section and then on the left panel,
under the title System, click on the Indexing link.
This page allows you to reindex your data, or move your index to another directory.
Note
Whenever you reindex data, JIRA will clear any existing indexes and re-index all the current data from scratch.
This may take a few minutes, depending on how many issues you have, and users will be unable to access JIRA
during this time.
