Full text index not updating

  • New values are added to a table through an application by end users. When a new value is added to the underlying table, the index is not updating to include the new value. When a search is performed in the application for the new value, it does not show up unless the index is re-created manually. The index is not disabled so I was under the impression that the index should be updating automatically when the column(s) with the index is added to or updated. Change Tracking is turned on for the database & table. There is a weekly schedule that runs every Monday morning to run a FULL update on the index, but it only adds in new values half the time, so there are Pending changes  that still require me to manually drop/recreate the index.  After this, the new value shows up in the search in the user application.
    The second part of my question is how do I see what permissions exist on the index? I would think that there would be a table somewhere that holds records of existing permissions for the index.Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Check that for all columns in the catalog, track changes is set to Automatic rather than Manual or Do Not Track,

    Secondly, for the index set up a schedule, if one does not exist, to repopulate at a suitable time interval; this will be determined by how often things change.

    Permissions will be determined by user permissions granted to the underlying table/view within the catalog.

    ...

  • Thank you very much! I checked and the full-text index Change Tracking was set to Automatic, but I read some more and realized that neither the Database nor the table affected had Change Tracking set to 'True'. I will change these settings and see if that makes a difference.
