dovecot - May 2012 - dovecot fts_lucene indexes not being updated

Hi everyone,

I have a dovecot 2.1.6 setup with fts_lucene.

The lucene indexes get created/updated fine when I do a manual search thru
telnet.

However, if I run a webapp that uses the php::imap_search function, the
index never gets created/updated. I run indo the same problem with
thunderbird and full-body search.

Anyone has some insight into this?

Regards,

-Joe

Sorry for double-posting, but i forgot to mention something:

If I run php::imap_search() AFTER having manually updated the lucene
indexes (thru a telnet command), I see a HUGE gain in search performance
compared to before creating the lucene indexes (at least 1 order of
magnitude).

-Joe

So you run SEARCH TEXT or SEARCH BODY?

What IMAP command is this search sending? You could check by e.g.
running rawlog: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog

Thunderbird probably isn't using IMAP SEARCH at all, but using its own
local indexes. Although this is configurable I think.
