[Forum] Rebuild vbulletin search with php?

[ThorstenA]

I can remember a php command to rebuild the vbulletin search. Is there actually one?

[Andy]

How would that differ from using this?

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Search Index

Hi Andy! Thanks for the tip! I tried the rebuild search index in the admincp but it breaks after a half million posts So I thought I should give the php rebuild a try.

[Andy]

Curious how many posts does your forum currently has?

[ThorstenA]

It has around a million posts, and only the older ones seem to be indexed for some weeks

[Andy]

In the do_not_upload folder there is a file called searchindex.php. I think this is the file you were looking for.

[Andreas]

Yes, that is the commandline script for rebuilding the search index.

Perfekt! This is it. Thanks very much for finding the solution and helping me!!
