Question / Problem
Why are files missing in my index? Why does UltraSearch not find them?
Answer / Solution
There can be several possible causes:
- The last indexing run took place before the file was created or modified, so the current content of that file isnt yet in the index.
- The indexing service may not have had sufficient permissions to access the file.
- The files type isnt (yet) supported - see https://knowledgebase.jam-software.com/7719
- The file is invalid, corrupted or otherwise unreadable.
- DataCentral ran into a problem when extracting the file (for example, because its too large or has an unexpected structure).
- If the file was indexed successfully, but UltraSearch still doesnt find your search term, it might be due to the term itself - or it could be that less important content (for example, HTML tag names) isnt included in the index.
