John,
As Mike noticed, I am talking about Full Text search of documents in my
SPS2003 portal. This is not a WSS issue. I originally posted in the
public.Sharepoint.Portalserver newsgroup, but received no response there.

I am not using the normal disk-based indexing service that is a part of
Windows2003 services. I am using MSSharePoint the Search service that is
part of the SharePoint Portal Server package.
I clearly did not communicate how the new documents are uploaded to the
SharePoint document library. If you associate an Exchange Public Folder with
a SharePoint document library that is email enabled, then attachments to
messages that are mailed to the public folder are extracted by SharePoint and
uploaded to the document library. So, I am not attaching the documents to an
Outlook message and sending them to the public folder. The attachments are
then uploaded as documents to the document library. That part is working
fine. The documents are in the document library as *.mht documents, and get
indexed shortly after they get uploaded.
The problem is with the *.mht documents that I uploaded manually, before I
got the automatic attachment-upload mechanism to work. I am trying to find
out how, using the SharePoint Server Administrator Interface pages, to dump
the existing index and crawl the entire portal and rebuild the index. Now, I
do have adaptive indexing selected. Should I unselect that and then tell it
to start a full update?
I just went to the box on which the portal is installed, brought up the SPS
Central Administration Pages, clicked the Manage Search vector and then, the
Manage Content Indexes vector. There I see my three indexes listed. I
dropped down the list of actions for the Portal_Content index, saw the "Reset
Content Index" command, and clicked that. After a time, the page was
refreshed to show that there were 0 documents listed in the index. "That's
progress!" Says I. Next I click the Start Full Update command. The page
eventually refreshes to say that crawling is occurring. With another
refresh, the index reports that there are 77 files in the index. Why isn't
it getting all the documents?
Now here is a point to consider. I had to uninstall WSS, SPS, and IIS, and
then reinstalled them, and applied SP1 to both WSS and SPS, in order to
rebuild the SharePoint Server with Full Text Search (FPSE2002 had been
present in the first build.) The content is now in two sets of 3 databases,
and it is the content in the databases built with this incarnation of the
portal that is showing as indexed. It is the content in the old databases,
which were added to the portal, that is not showing up. I see the old
content in the document libraries, but apparently the search service is not.
Do you know a way to merge those two sets of databases into one set, using
SQL commands?
