Index Statistics
The Statistics report is a general summary of information about the index itself
including numbers of words and documents, significant and insignificant characters,
creation date and last update statistics.
To view the index statistics:
- Start Perceptive Enterprise Search - Local Administration Console
- Open the index you wish to modify, you can do this by either:
- Selecting it from the My Index Catalog list
- Select File > Open an Index from the menu and browse to the location where
the index is stored
- From the menu, select Index > Statistics > Index Statistics
- You can log the output of a reindex by clicking the Log button.
- Click OK to begin.
Output
Statistics show the following information:
- the number of documents in the index
- the total number of words in all the documents
- the number of words defined as common for the index
- the total number of words included in the index
- the number of different words in the index
- the characters which have been defined as significant
- the characters which have been defined as insignificant
- the default language code page of the index
- the size of each of the three main index files (in bytes)
- the unused slack space in bytes of the index files B and C
- the number of item yet to purge from deferred deindexing.
- the percentage of slack space in the index files. This refers to unused space in
your index files, and may increase if you edit and delete documents. It is less
likely to occur if you only add new documents to the index. As you update the index,
check the Percentage Slack figure. If it increases beyond 15%, you may reclaim
the free space by Reindexing your index, though Perceptive Search will reuse available slack
space during later update runs.
- summary of index features enabled
- when the index was created including the version of Perceptive Search used
- when the index was last updated including the version of Perceptive Search used.
