Thread:Project:Support desk/How to recreate the search index/reply

You should first run a REPAIR TABLE statement in phpmyadmin. Then make sure that you have shell access. Via the shell, you can run PHP cripts like the rebuildtextindex.php file. If you can run PHP scripts, you should first TRUNCATE the searchindex table. This will empty it. After that, run the rebuildtextindex.php script.
