We have an extremely large catalog/index. We have 5.67GB of data and over 31,000 pdf files that we have indexed. We have four users that use the index concurrently. The documents and the index are located on a Windows 2003 server.
The problem that we have been running into for the last several months is that the searching of the index is SOMETIMES extremely slow. I have not been able to find any rhyme or reason as to what is going on during the searching on either the users local system or our server. It is very intermittant.
I was wondering if there is a suggested limit for indexes. Should I break the one large index into perhaps 3 or 4 smaller ones? Or, is there something else I should be looking at (suggestions)?
