Description

Notes 14.5 introduced Workspace Search: the client can search opened views directly for terms without the database requiring a full-text index. EnableWorkspaceSearch=0 disables the feature completely – useful, for example, in environments with specific performance requirements or when another search frontend must be used. By default the feature is enabled.

Example configuration

EnableWorkspaceSearch=0

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only applies to Notes clients from version 14.5; older clients ignore the parameter.
  • Can also be distributed via desktop policy – preferable in managed environments.
  • Takes effect after a restart of the Notes client.
  • Does not affect full-text search (FTI) at the database level or server-side search indexes.
