A while back I studied indexing intensely. Really lousy that PTC doesn't give tools to get more feedback on the process, especially objects that are not indexed. You can learn quite a lot by limiting the object types in the collection (wblib), starting say with only WTDocument or EPMDocument. I did a bunch of studies of the quantities in the database vs. those reported by indexing. Also was able to developed some query builder reports that identified specific ones not indexed.
I'm baffled that PTC still has indexing of drawings turned off by default - and that the example they give for enabling focuses on enabling for models (PRT, ASM), not for Drawings. Who wants to have models returned for an index search?
Sure would like to have enabling index search be a radio button on the Search page rather than using a Preference also.
Right the challenge that I have in our system is that Creo Parametric drawings are indexed but SolidWorks drawings are not, so it's not as useful as it could be.
