  • Hi Shafi,

    First : stop Indexing with stopping all SharePoint Search Services in the Management Console.

    Second: stop the crawler in the Central Administration

    Third: Resize your disks to have at least enough space to drop your indexes. You should have at least 25% free space of the full content database size when performing a full crawl.

    Restart your full crawl.

    Regards

  • Can you provide an estimate of the number of items and size of the content you are crawling? What does your farm topology look like?

  • Size of the content database is 500 GB. Full crawl is scheduled for weekly and it takes 3 to 4 hour to complete normally.  But now its taking 30 hour, Please see below screenshot.

  • HI,

    Check your crawl index if it is updating or not.

    Also to stop this restart the service Office Sharepoint Service Search. 


    Thanks, Rahul Rashu

  • Dear Rahul,

    How can I check the crawl index?

    Do I need to stop and restart from service.msc ?
