Is there a way to force the search index to be recreated from scratch?

Or better yet, is there some way I can figure out why my search index isn't current? That is, there are nodes that are definitely not indexed... terms in those nodes are not in search_index or search_total. I try running cron.php directly, but it's unclear whether anything happens.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out the same thing and I can't seem to find it in any of my search's on this site. Nothing seems to come up.

If you go to admin/settings/search you can see the status of your current search index.

Running cron.php manually will always return a blank page, however, it should make a log entry into watchdog which will tell you whether or not the last cron run was successful.

Hope that helps...

Well, the cron jobs are reporting success.

I did some SQL queries and there is content I added about 2 weeks ago that is not in search_index. Given that I'm running the cron job about every 7 minutes, it should be in the index.

I'm stumped...

Okay, the default search module seems to be pretty much deprecated. I've dropped trip_search (aka SQL Search - http://drupal.org/project/trip_search) into my local test setup, seems to work fine... I'm going to put it on the live site now.
