I am hoping there is a simple answer to my query, and I just cannot find it because I am totally unfamiliar with IIS and the Indexing service... or because I'm an idiot... or possibly a combination of the two.
Please forgive me if I do not know the terminology to use, but this is definitely not my area of expertise!
We have an intranet website where the indexing service is being used to facilitate searches on the web content. (So far so good.)
We have an automatic FTP process in place whereby, if anyone in management wants to update any section of the site, then this process will copy up the updated files to the site for them. (Okay still all good.)
The FTP process is written so that if a file it is uploading already exists, it will move the old version to a "backup" directory and then upload the new version. (Yes...)
The trouble is that if you now do a site search for something that appears on the page, the search will come up with the file in the backup directory but not the new updated file.
If you then delete the backup file, then nothing comes up in the search at all.
However if you then delete the new file, and then copy it up again to the same place, it will NOW show up in the search.
Is there anything that can be done to force the new file to show up and the backup file to not show up at all??? The backup directory is already configured so any contents should not be indexed.
Please help me *whimper*
