SharePoint Incremental Update Slow Down
March 23, 2009
Microsoft SharePoint is an interesting system. Originally a content management lash up, the product now offers a wide range of features. There are various flavors of search and dozens of vendors who offer snap in components to address shortcomings in the core product. If you have a vanilla SharePoint, you will want to scan “SharePoint Incremental Crawl Taking a Long Time after Adding or Removing a User” here. There is no direct fix for incremental indexing slow downs when a SharePoint installation has user additions or deletes. If a reader knows of a fix for this issue, please, use the comments section of this Web log to post the remediating method. Interesting issue which strikes me as a significant problem in organizations where new users come and go in a SharePoint centric organization.
