replaces existing search data with new data as items are reindexed.


-- REQUIREMENTS --

Needs core search module to be enable on the site.

-- INSTALLATION --

* Install as usual, see http://drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.


-- CONFIGURATION --

* To clear the search index, go to Administration » Configuration » Search and 
  metadata » Search settings. Hit on Wipe Index button next to Re-index site 
  button.

-- FAQ --

Q: Why should I use this module?

A: The search index can become massive on large sites, making it difficult 
   to transfer the site to another server. Examples include migrating ISPs 
   or just creating a test site. Yes, we know it would be better to not delete
   the entire search index, but its sheer size sometimes forces the need.


Q: I wiped my search index, How do I rebuilt it?

A: It is similar to Rebuild index button, we need to run cron on the site to 
   rebuilt the index.
