Re: Deleted pages not removed from Index during Full Update

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Thanks for the input.

We run an Incremental as well (every 15 minutes), so it isn't doing the
trick either.

I should also note that this problem isnt isolated to one environment, we
get this problem on several servers installed separatly from each other (ie
not ghosts or anything like that). Granted, we have configured them the same
way, but other then that they are seperate. The Sharepoint installation and
the physical server Sharepoint is residing on isnt used for anything but the
portal search (yet). The server and Sharepoint is using swedish locale
(should that matter).
