Service Settings

To configure the Exchange indexing service, go to “Indexing Services > Microsoft Exchange > Service Settings”. The following options are available:

Thread Count

Indicates the number of concurrent processing threads should run. The higher the number of threads, the more mailboxes processed concurrently, however it also increases load on the server.

Thread Priority

The priority indicates how the indexing process cooperates with other processes on the system. A lower priority means the service will have a lesser impact on the system than a higher priority. The priority will also affect the amount of time required to index the mailboxes.

Scan folders every

Indicates how much time should go by before a mailbox folder is rescanned for changes. Note that folders are queued for processing, so this value does not indicate that the folder will be scanned this frequently.

Scan Delay

Indicates a forced delay between reprocessing a folder.

HTTP Proxy

Specifies an optional proxy that sits between the Perceptive Enterprise Search Server and the Exchange Server.

Logging

Indicates a debugging log file that should be created by the indexing server.

Index attachment content

Indicates that attachments to documents should also be added to the index. Each attachment will be indexed as a separate document. Setting this value will increase the index size, and the overall indexing time.

Show attachment list in message

Outputs the list of attachments in the message body, this does not include the text of the attachment. Setting this value will increase indexing time.

Maximum attachment size

Indicates the maximum size that an attachment can be to be indexed, any attachment larger than this will not be indexed.

Exclusion Filters

Contains a list of filters, documents or folders that match any of these filters will not be indexed.
