expected size for full-text search index? Ben Bimber  2013-02-20 08:20

Our server's full text search index is about 8.5GB. This was a little surprising given how we're using our site. As a point of reference, could someone post the size of labkey.org's search index or perhaps experience with index size from other large production sites?

Also - should I expect dataset records to get indexed?

Thanks.

Hi Ben,

The index on labkey.org is about 600MB.

To the best of my knowledge, dataset rows are not indexed. Dataset metadata is, but that should be very small.

Luke is a useful tool for investigating the contents of an existing Lucene index:

It might provide some quick insight into what's in you index.

Thanks,
Josh
