Hi,

I new and looking at evaluating SearchUnit, I have a few question, is it necessary to use a windows service or am I able to run a command through the application to index a directory or directories?

Many thanks
Jim

Hi Sanj, you're able to do it programmatically if you like https://keyoti.com/produ...ammatic%20Importing.htm

Or you can setup the service
https://keyoti.com/produ...ager/windowsservice.htm

Or you can use the Index Manager's Publish tool (which works as a scheduled task)
https://keyoti.com/produ...ndexManager/Publish.htm

Which is best? The nice thing about using the Service over doing it programmatically is that Windows handles the Service, starts it for you etc. On the other hand the nice thing about doing it programmatically is that you have more control.

Also the publish tool is great when you need to index on a different machine than the search is running on, eg. in hosted scenarios.

Please let me know if you have further questions,
Jim

Many thanks Jim for your response, I will download the trail and test this weekend.

Just a follow-up question does the search work within all docs (PDF, DOCX, XLSX) etc.?
