Hi,

I have an entity called 'CONTACT', for which I can index the record on insertion and can also search those records using hibernate search.

However, now I would like to index those records which were not inserted thorugh hibernate(search) transactions. Is there any way that I could index an unindexed record in database using Hibernate Search.

Cheers,
Manoj

hi,
if it's about one entity (or some), use FullTextSession.index()
if you want to rebuild it all, read about the Massindexing chapters in the reference documentation to find about different strategies.

Sure. There is a manual indexing API which can be used to create an index for already existing entities in the db. There is also the mass indexer API for massive data amounts. Have a look at the online documentation for more info.
