[tgs728]

Hi All,

I want to modify the search index, i have seen a ibm document to update, but i am unable to find the  index update icon in the below location.
1. In IBM Cognos Connection, in the upper-right corner, click Launch, IBM Cognos Administration
2. Click Configuration, then click Content Administration.
3. To start the New Index Update Wizard, click the new index update icon , in the upper-right corner.


Can any one guide me what i am doing wrong.And apart from these i want to search my reports by report id.? is this possible?

Thanks,
TGS

You haven't specified what product and version you are using? My muppety clairvoyance is giving me the faint impression you are using Cognos Express?

If you are using Express, that explains it. Express doesn't contain the search facilities.

In Cognos 8, "GO! Search" was an optional extra install. If this isn't installed there are no index building options, just the "standard" search capabilities based on report name and description.

I'd wager you don't have GO! Search installed?
