Reindex large collection without going offline

[Damon Janis]

We have a collection with 8 million documents. One of the fields is full-text search but stopped working. Seems like a reindex would fix it.

This will take several hours, is there a way to reindex without taking the existing index offline?

You can do side by side indexing.

But what is "stopped working" ?

"stopped working" is where this RQL

from index "MlsProperties/AllQueryFields"
where search(Subdivision, "*clifton by the sea*", and)

isn't returning any matches where the Subdivision field is "clifton by the sea" and up until recently it was returning them.

Setting the search to "*clifton*" returns all matches where clifton is in the Subdivision.
