You can change the search and indexing settings for an individual namespace at any time. You can:
•Enable or disable search. Disabling search also:
oDisables all indexing for the namespace
oRemoves the objects in the namespace from the metadata query engine and HCP search facility indexes
oDeletes the list of excluded annotations for the namespace
oDeletes all associations the namespace has with any content classes
oEnable or disable indexing. Disabling indexing also disables custom metadata indexing for the namespace. However, it does not remove objects in the namespace from the indexes.
By default, when you create a namespace with search enabled, indexing is also enabled.
oAdd or delete associations between content classes and the namespace.
•If indexing is enabled, enable or disable indexing of custom metadata. Disabling custom metadata indexing also disables metadata query engine indexing of the full text of custom metadata.
If you disable custom metadata indexing after it has been enabled, custom metadata that has already been indexed is not removed from the index.
By default, when you create a namespace with search enabled, indexing of custom metadata is disabled.
•If indexing of custom metadata is enabled:
oEnable or disable metadata query engine indexing of the full text of custom metadata. If you disable this option after it has been enabled, custom metadata text that has already been indexed is not removed from the index.

Note: For namespaces that existed before the HCP system was upgraded from a release earlier than 6.0, if the namespace had custom metadata indexing enabled before the upgrade, it has full-text custom metadata indexing enabled after the upgrade. |
oSpecify annotations to be excluded from metadata query engine indexing of custom metadata. Annotations are excluded by name. So, for example, you could exclude all annotations named miscellaneous. Users cannot query for objects based on the content of excluded annotations.
You can also reindex an individual namespace at any time. You might do this, for example, if you associate additional content classes with the namespace.
To manage search and indexing for an individual namespace, you use the namespace Search panel in the Tenant Management Console. To display this panel:
1.In the top-level menu, click on Namespaces.
2.In the list of namespace on the Namespaces page, click on the name of the namespace you want.
3.In the row of tabs below the namespace name, click on Services.
4.On the left side of the Services panel, click on Search.
While the metadata query engine or HCP search facility is selected for use with the Search Console, the Search panel shows the date and time before which eligible objects in the namespace are guaranteed to be included in the applicable index.
