Strategy One
Monitor Quick Search Indices
Strategy is retiring legacy administration tools in phases as capabilities move to Workstation, now available in the browser. December 2026 is last supported release for server legacy tools including, Developer, Command Manager, and Object Manager. For more information on legacy tool end of support, see Legacy Tools & Platform: End of Support Reference. For feature level details, see the Workstation vs Legacy Tools Feature Parity dashboard.
A quick search index is created when a project is loaded for the first time. If no index folder is found within the project, Strategy will do an initial crawl and create the search index within that project. Each time a project is loaded or an object is created within a project, the search index will be updated based upon the change journal entries that are not part of the index.
Rebuilding a Quick Search Index
If certain system configurations change, it may be necessary to rebuild your quick search index. Quick search indices are accessible through your system monitors. To rebuild a search index:
-
Open a project source in Developer.
If you are running Strategy Developer on Windows for the first time, run it as an administrator.
Right‑click the program icon and select Run as Administrator.
This is necessary in order to properly set the Windows registry keys. For more information, see KB43491.
- Open Administration > System Monitors > Quick Search Indices to view the indices.
- Right-click and select Rebuild Index.
When to Rebuild an Index
The following scenarios may require you to rebuild a search index:
- If you switch the metadata in your environment with a copy of the currently used metadata, like the backup of the current metadata, a rebuild will be required. Quick Search cannot distinguish the copies of a metadata.
- If you change your index folder, a rebuild will be required. If the index folder is changed via MicroStrategy Developer, the index for all loaded projects will be rebuilt automatically. You do not need to rebuilt the index.
- If you upgrade your environment, a rebuild may be necessary.
- If you the index status of a specific project is in a paused state for an extended time, a rebuild may be necessary. Quick Search will typically resume the crawl process for a paused index.
- If you can not search your objects normally, a rebuild may be necessary.
