NAME

       doveadm-fts - Manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION

       The doveadm fts COMMANDS can be used to manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1)

       -D

           Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -O

           Do  not  read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the
           latest version, but can be overridden with

       -k

           Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting.

       -v

           Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       -i instance-name

           If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name.

           See instance_name setting for more information.

       -c config-file

           Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first  reads  config  socket,  and  then
           falls  back  to  /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance
           running compatible version.

       -o setting=value

           Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given
           value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

       This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the key=prefix).

OPTIONS

       -A

           If the -A option is present, the command will be performed  for  all  users.  Using  this  option  in
           combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains
           also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting.

           When  the  SQL  userdb  module  is  used, make sure that the userdb_sql_iterate_query setting setting
           matches your database layout.

           When  using  the   LDAP   userdb   module,   make   sure   that   the   userdb_fields   setting   and
           userdb_ldap_iterate_fields  setting  settings  match  your  LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be
           unable to iterate over all users.

       -F file

           Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is similar to the -A option, but  instead  of
           getting  the  list of users from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file contains one
           username per line.

       --no-userdb-lookup

           Do not perform userdb lookup. Use the USER environment variable to specify the username.

       -S socket_path

           The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket,  or  a  hostname  and
           port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

           This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.

       -u user/mask

           Run  the  command  only  for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u
           *@example.org).

ARGUMENTS

       namespace

           The name of a namespace, e.g. the name of the shared namespace. When  no  namespace  was  given,  the
           user's private namespace will be used.

COMMANDS

   fts optimize
       doveadm  [GLOBAL  OPTIONS]  fts  optimize  [-u user | -A | -F file | --no-userdb-lookup] [-S socket_path]
       [namespace]

       Optimize the full text search index. This is also done automatically by the full text search engines, but
       this enforces it to happen.

   fts rescan
       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts rescan [-u user | -A  |  -F  file  |  --no-userdb-lookup]  [-S  socket_path]
       [namespace]

       Scan  what  mails  exist  in  the  full  text  search  index  and compare those to what actually exist in
       mailboxes. This removes mails from the index that have already been expunged and makes sure that the next
       doveadm index will index all the missing mails (if any). Note that currently  most  FTS  drivers  do  not
       implement  this  properly,  but  instead  they  delete all the FTS indexes. This may change in the future
       versions.

   fts check fast
       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts check fast [-u user | -A | -F file |  --no-userdb-lookup]  [-S  socket_path]
       [--refresh] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

       This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

       This  command  can  be  used  to  check  FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a fast check using only
       information in local caches (fts.S, metacache).

       --refresh

           Refresh any necessary local caches for the command to run successfully.  This  can  be  used  if  the
           command otherwise fails with exit code 68.

       --print-mismatches-only

           Print only mailboxes that have inconsistencies.

       Exit codes:

       0

           The mailbox is fully consistent

       2

           The mailbox is not fully consistent

       68

           There  is  not enough information in local metacache to know whether the mailbox is fully consistent.
           Use either the --refresh parameter or the "full" check.

   fts check full
       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] fts check full [-u user | -A | -F file |  --no-userdb-lookup]  [-S  socket_path]
       [--print-details] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

       This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

       This  command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a full check to give detailed
       output of inconsistencies.

       --print-details

           Print also IMAP UID numbers and FTS triplet names for each email.

       --print-mismatches-only

           Print only mailboxes (or emails, with --print-details) that have inconsistencies.

       Exit codes:

       0

           The mailbox is fully consistent

       2

           The mailbox is not fully consistent
