  • Article

To reset the content index of your Search Service Application, you can either use the UI as described in the following TechNet article, or use the following PowerShell command :

 (Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication).Reset($true,$true)

The Reset function takes 2 Boolean parameters :

This sample is for a Farm containing only one instance of the Search Service Application, if you have more than one you should adapt the sample.
