Sharepoint 2007 Crawl Never Ends - Always Status Crawling
I had "Not Stopped the Search Index Crawler " case in SharePoint 2007 (in “ Crawling ” status indefinitely) and doesn't respond to stop requests I had not stopped the search case " Stop Crawl " But nothing - stuck " Stopping " The solution: Enter the following stsadm commands : execadmsvcjobs , osearch -action stop, -o osearch -action start -role Index C:\>stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs Executing . Operation completed successfully. C:\ >stsadm -o osearch -action stop The Office SharePoint Server Search service was successfully stopped. C:\>stsadm -o osearch -action start -role Index The Office SharePoint Server Search service was successfully started. Now you need to do - Reset all craweld content Now re-run the indexing, this should solve the problem. Hope I helped, Roi
