Specifying Logging Options When Using Simple Search Administration Mode

In simple search administration mode, you can specify the information, in addition to errors, to include in the gatherer log.

Specify logging options when using simple search administration mode

1. On the Site Settings page, in the Manage Search Settings and Indexed Content section, click Configure search and indexing.
2. On the Configure Search and Indexing page, in the General Content Settings and Indexing Status section, click the link next to Log settings.
3. On the Edit Search Settings page, do the following:
   1. To log each document successfully retrieved, select the Log each document successfully retrieved and any indexing warnings check box.

      You will get a complete record, but the gatherer log will quickly increase in size. For this reason, it is recommended that you log success only as an exception.

   2. To see which documents are being excluded from the crawl, select the Log excluded items check box.

      Logging excluded items can create many times the number of entries that logging successes creates. It is recommended that you log excluded items only when investigating problems.

4. Click OK.
