IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search

This initialization is a one-time process that can take anywhere from 10-25 minutes depending on the load on your machine. After that process is completed, you will be directed to the main search page and indexing will begin.

Click on the link that shows the number of e-mails indexed. That will take you to the indexing control page shown below.

Move the slider bar to the lowest position to turn off indexing. Whenever you wish to restart indexing, visit the same page and move the slider bar to any of the other positions.

In order to start the tool again, navigate to the same folder and click on the shortcut marked Start.

1. All the e-mail databases that you selected during installation have been completely crawled, processed, and indexed.
2. E-mails have been queued up for indexing, but, because IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search is operating in "gentle mode" and you are actively using the machine, the tool has refrained from doing any processing. To see whether IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search is indeed in gentle mode, visit the indexing control page (see FAQ 5). The page will list the number of e-mails queued for processing and will also show the current indexing mode. Note that the tool supports five distinct indexing modes -- off, gentle, medium, aggressive, and full. You can use the slider bar to control how much in resources the tool can take up and, consequently, how fast indexing will progress.
3. In rare circumstances, IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search might be stuck establishing a connection for fetching e-mails. In such cases, the problem can be solved by stopping and restarting the tool's server (see FAQ 6), logging off and logging back in to Windows, or in rare cases, shutting down the machine and restarting Windows.

• Ensure that you shut down Lotus Notes when requested to do so by the IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search installer. If you are not sure that Notes was indeed shut down, then cancel the installation, ensure that Notes has been shut down, and once again launch the IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search installer.
• If you had any version of Lotus Sametime® Connect instant messaging software running during your failed installation attempt, please shut down Sametime and retry the installation.
• Check to see if you have a file named nlsxbe.dll in your Lotus Notes installation directory (usually C:\notes\). If so, check to see if you have another copy of nlsxbe.dll in C:\Windows (or in C:\Windows\system32). If so, please delete the copy of this file in the Windows directory and retry installation.

If this does not solve the problem, check to see if you have a file named nlsxbe.dll in your Lotus Notes installation directory (usually C:\notes\). If so, check to see if you have another copy of nlsxbe.dll in C:\Windows (or in C:\Windows\system32). If so, please delete the copy of this file in the Windows directory and retry installation.

If none of the above steps solve the problem, log off from Windows and log back in before re-trying the installation.

This action will launch a window that lists all the local Notes databases that IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search has been able to detect (see screenshot below).

Select any additional e-mail databases from the displayed list. If you don't see a particular database in the list, click on the button labeled Add more mail files to the list and browse your local hard disk in order to select additional mail databases. When you are finished, click on the OK button in order to register your changes with IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search.
