Description

Update_No_FullText=1 instructs the Update task to stop refreshing full-text indexes. Useful on servers that intentionally do not use full-text search or when full-text maintenance has been offloaded to a separate server (for example via UpdAll_NoFullText and a dedicated updater).
For individual index runs there is also the matching switch UpdAll_NoFullText, which only affects the UpdAll task.

Example configuration

Update_No_FullText=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Acts server-wide – all full-text indexes are no longer maintained by the Update task.
  • Search in mail files / applications is no longer current – review the impact before enabling.
  • Complemented by UpdAll_NoFullText (same idea for the UpdAll task).
  • Leave the default 0 when full-text search is in use.
  • The change only takes effect after restarting the indexer tasks (restart task update).
