Hello,

I've read through a bunch of threads to try to relate answers to my issue with no success. Sorry if you think it's already been answered.

Issue:
I have indexed my site with very limited meta keywords. I have now gone back and added many keywords to my pages. Do I need to re-index, or just re-walk?

I've re-walked and tested and still I get "no documents match your query"

Additionally, is there a specific format to the keyword tag that I'm missing? Mine looks like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="PAB, pab, personal, address, book, server">

greatly appreciated - Thanks.

You need to rewalk to acquire the latest data. Reindexing just updates the search index on the previously acquired(walked) data.

Did you give the -meta option to extract meta data? See http://www.thunderstone.com/site/gw25man/node69.html

Fantastic response, I'm almost there.

I've already indexed the site so if I run the command

./gw -meta=keywords,description http://mysite.com

I get the following:
http://mysite.com/ is already in the database.

So the next, and hopefully last question is, do I need to do a rewalk somehow including the -meta portion or do I need to somehow re-index with the -meta portion. And of course, whichever the answer, how would I do it (what would the specific command be?)

thanks again.

There's a -rewalk option, but it walks with your previous options. If you want to change walk options you need to do a new walk. Wipe the old database and start over with the desired options.
gw -wipe
gw -meta=keywords,description http://mysite.com

Thanks a million, worked like a charm!
