Environment


Retain 4

Situation


I want to use the Legacy Search option in Retain 4.  Does it do its searches off of the old Retain 3 index in the /index directory?

Resolution


No.  The Legacy Search only uses the old indexer until the migration of all messages to the new Retain 4 format.  Once the migration has completed, the old search engine gets shut down and any searches performed in the Legacy Search tab will use the new search engine/indexes.
