Examples:

 

To update the 'Emails' index the command line would be:

 

flpidx.exe -name "Emails" -update

 

To recreate the index stored in 'C:\Indexes\Shared' the command line would be:

 

flpidx.exe -path "C:\Indexes\Shared" -recreate

 

To create a new index stored in 'C:\Indexes\New' the command line would be:

 

flpidx.exe -create -name "New Index" -path "C:\Indexes\New" -ds -fd -i

 

 

Note:

 

Since flpidx.exe is a console application when you run it you might get an annoying console window popping up. To prevent the console window from displaying you can run flpidx.exe via the IndexManager.exe application using the -exec flag, e.g.

 

IndexManager.exe -exec -name "Emails" -update
