The Free-text Search screen

The Free-text Search screen helps you manage the Guidewire Solr Extension, a full-text search engine, during development. The screen is an alternative to the free-text batch load command. The Free-text Search screen provides one operation to drop the indexes and another operation to load and index data. The free-text batch load command performs both operations in a single command.

During development, use the Free-text Search screen instead of the free-text batch load command to avoid the installation and setup procedure required to use the command.

To access the Free-text Search screen, you must run the PolicyCenter application in development mode. The application hides the screen whenever you run the application in production mode.

The Free-text Search screen provides the following buttons:

Sync Policy Index – Provides the functionality similar to the free-text batch load command. It extracts policy data from the application database and sends it to the Guidewire Solr Extension for indexing. Click this button after you click the Drop Policy Index button.
Drop Policy Index – Drops the policy indexes from the Guidewire Solr Extension. Click this button before you click the Sync Policy Index button.
Run Consistency Check – Confirms that the policy index data in the Guidewire Solr Extension matches the policy data in the application database. Click this button after you click the Sync Policy Index button or after you run the free-text batch load command.

You can access the Free-text Search screen if all the following are true:

The server is in development mode.
The EnableInternalDebugTools parameter in config.xml is true.
The FreeTextSearchEnabled parameter in config.xml is true.
