Reset the content index (Search Server 2010)
Published: May 12, 2010
You should reset the content index only when you plan to crawl content after you have created a new set of content sources. When you reset the content index, all search results are immediately removed. After you reset the content index, you must perform a full crawl to create a new content index so that a current results set is available to users.
Use the following procedure to reset the content index.
