Digital Workshop

I built a draft Pub for a client. The original included the Search feature in OPUS. It was decided NOT to use this feature in the final version, so I deleted its Trigger and Action. It no longer exists within the Pub. Still, every time I Publish, OPUS spends over a minute building a Search data base. It is only a minute, but I'm wondering if I've missed something, somewhere which will cause OPUS to not waste time building something that is not used.

Hi Fred,

Hope all is well. There doesn't appear to be any way to completely disable the search indexing. However, you don't say what method of indexing you selected. If you have chosen the "use words from text objects on page" then try deselecting this option on the page properties. It won't stop the indexing, but at least it should remove the content - if you used this method.

Out of interest, how much did you index? I tried with five pages of junk text and it still took a fraction of a second to build...

There are over 100 Pages in this Pub with many MultiFrames and lots of text... The client's "expert" must be getting paid by how many un-neccessary words she uses, but that's another subject. Maybe it took only 30 seconds (it just seemed longer when I was waiting for it to finish).

Solution
I finally remembered I can go to Publication Properties -> General (2) and untick the "Use publication search database" to get OPUS to NOT generate an un-needed data base. Thanks for thinking about this.

Well, I'll be damned - never seen that option in all these years
