Learn about using the search feature in Datameer.

Enabling Datameer X for Search

As an administrator:

  1. Open Datameer.
  2. Navigate to the Admin tab.
  3. Open the Search option from the menu on the left.

  4. Click the button Create Index or use the following REST call: 

    curl -u <username>:<password> 'http://<Datameer-serverIP>:<port-number>/api/filesystem/files/search/index'

The search feature is now enabled.

Search Index

Location

Per default the search index is created under <datameerInstallFolder>/das-data/index. This location can be configured in the default.properties file.

Recreating the search index

Creating/Recreating the search index is necessary in the case that you upgraded from a Datameer X version without the search feature to version with the search feature.

Recreating the index is also necessary in case the files in the Datameer X database are changed by someone other than Datameer. (E.g., By queries from a database administrator.)

Search Statistics

As an administrator, view the search statistics by navigating to the Admin tab, opening Search from the menu on the right, and expanding the Search Statistics box.
