Clearing your Voyager Index
- Cooper Labenske
Administrators can partially or completely remove items from the search index. There are several methods:
Clearing Items from a Specific Location
This option removes items from a single location from the Index
Go to Manage Voyager > Locations
Click the Edit icon next to the location you'd like to clear
On the details page for that location, click Clear Index
This will clear all indexed items from that specific location, but does NOT remove thumbnails, metadata and layer files stored in the \meta folder.
Clearing Items from a Specific Search
Use this method to remove the results of a specific search query.
Run a search
Click Remove results from the Index from the Admin Options panel
There are four options:
Remove From Index - removes selected items from the search index
Remove Thumbnail - clears thumbnails and preview images from the Voyager /meta folder
Remove Metadata - deletes XML files that are saved in the Voyager /meta folder
Remove Layer - wipes out any layer files associated with the item in the /meta folder
Click Remove to clear the items you chose
Clearing the Entire Index
Use this option to delete all content from the Index
Go to Manage Voyager > Index > Backup and Restore
Click Wipe the Search Index
Click Yes, Clear the Index
