[Steve Bryan]

Hi

Is there a planned release date for the distribution of 7.1 (or the next
version which will contain the offline indexing functionality)?

thanks
Steve

I've dug around the source code, and it looks as though everything works as
I'd hoped - thanks, Alkacon.

One comment: it would be nice to be able to control the update
frequency/interval for offline index updating.  [There's a typo in
DEFAULT_OFFLINE_UPDATE_FREQNENCY, btw]

My findings, in case they're of use to others:

1.  Offline resources can indeed be indexed - but only if you set an index's
rebuild mode to 'offline'.  This can't yet be done from the Search
Management view, so you have to edit opencms-search.xml by hand and restart
the server (or otherwise reload configuration).

2.  From a few quick tests, everything works as expected.  I can edit
offline resources, and changes are reflected within seconds.  I can publish
offline resources, then move their containing folder without publishing, and
the right changes are reflected in the offline index (and therefore in
offline search results).

3.  I notice that when you move/rename offline resources, they first
disappear from the offline index, before reappearing a few seconds later as
indexed in the new location.
