Description

Form fields can be excluded from full-text indexing using the Designer attribute do not index ('noindex'). For Domino IQ / RAG scenarios, however, indexing of content needs to be as complete as possible so that the vector/retrieval module can also find text in such fields. FT_SKIP_IGNORE_FIELD=1 instructs the indexer to ignore the noindex flag during FT indexing – the fields are then included in the index.

Example configuration

FT_SKIP_IGNORE_FIELD=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only available from Domino 14.5.1; has no effect on older versions.
  • Requires FT indexes to be rebuilt after the change (load updall -f).
  • May expose sensitive fields in the index that were intentionally excluded for business reasons – review data protection / compliance before enabling.
  • Index volume can grow noticeably; account for disk space and backup windows.
