doveadm-fts(1) - Manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index

SYNOPSIS

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION

The doveadm fts COMMANDS can be used to manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index.

This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the key=prefix).

OPTIONS

ARGUMENTS

namespace

The name of a namespace, e.g. the name of the shared namespace. When no namespace was given, the user's private namespace will be used.

COMMANDS

fts optimize

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts optimize [-u user | -A | -F file | --no-userdb-lookup] [-S socket_path] [namespace]

Optimize the full text search index. This is also done automatically by the full text search engines, but this enforces it to happen.

fts rescan

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts rescan [-u user | -A | -F file | --no-userdb-lookup] [-S socket_path] [namespace]

Scan what mails exist in the full text search index and compare those to what actually exist in mailboxes. This removes mails from the index that have already been expunged and makes sure that the next doveadm index will index all the missing mails (if any). Note that currently most FTS backends do not implement this properly, but instead they delete all the FTS indexes. This may change in the future versions.

fts check fast

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts check fast [-u user | -A | -F file | --no-userdb-lookup] [-S socket_path] [--refresh] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a fast check using only information in local caches (fts.S, metacache).

--refresh

Refresh any necessary local caches for the command to run successfully. This can be used if the command otherwise fails with exit code 68.

--print-mismatches-only

Print only mailboxes that have inconsistencies.

Exit codes:

0

The mailbox is fully consistent

2

The mailbox is not fully consistent

68

There is not enough information in local metacache to know whether the mailbox is fully consistent. Use either the --refresh parameter or the "full" check.

fts check full

doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts check full [-u user | -A | -F file | --no-userdb-lookup] [-S socket_path] [--print-details] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a full check to give detailed output of inconsistencies.

--print-details

Print also IMAP UID numbers and FTS triplet names for each email.

--print-mismatches-only

Print only mailboxes (or emails, with --print-details) that have inconsistencies.

Exit codes:

0

The mailbox is fully consistent

2

The mailbox is not fully consistent
