BoardCloud Search Mechanics
BoardCloud’s search function is based on the Lucene Engine. Below are some of the nuances associated with our BoardCloud search.
Published Documents
When a board packet or minute document is published, the text contents of that document is added to the search index. This allows search for any word or phrase in the document to locate the document.
This means that contents of packs or minutes that have not been published are not visible in search. In addition, when a meeting is deleted, any associated pack or minute document will not appear in a search.
Reindexing Search
There is a reindex search function for administrators in the Admin – Settings section.
Use this function if you are experiencing any search difficulties.
While the use of a full reindex is not commonly required, there may be an occasion where you can do a quick reindex. For example, when a search term that you believe should appear in search results and does not show.
Reindex does not affect any of your existing data, it simply recreates the search index.
