Description

According to the HCL product documentation, Update_No_Fulltext turns full-text indexing on or off on a Domino server.
Values (verbatim from HCL doc):
  • 0 — Turns full-text indexing on.
  • 1 — Turns full-text indexing off.
The default per HCL is: None, although if this setting is omitted, full-text indexing is on. So there is no explicitly set default; without an entry, full-text indexing is active.
HCL Customer Support article KB0039453 How to disable the full text indexer on Domino adds: To disable the full text indexer, add the following parameter to the notes.ini file: UPDATE_NO_FULLTEXT=1. You must restart the server for this change to take effect. (A server restart is required for the change to take effect.)
KB0039453 also notes: when UPDATE_NO_FULLTEXT=1 is set and an attempt is made to create a full-text index in a database on this server, the server prevents it.

Example configuration

Update_No_Fulltext=1
With Update_No_Fulltext=1, the server disables its Update task for full-text indexes — useful on servers whose applications do not need full-text search.

Notes & pitfalls

  • A change takes effect only after a server restart per HCL KB0039453.
  • With Update_No_Fulltext=1, no new full-text indexes are created on the server.
  • Without the parameter, full-text indexing is on by default (HCL: if this setting is omitted, full-text indexing is on).
  • According to HCL, the parameter affects only servers.
