Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (client-managed) caches user searches performed in an app in the Service Cluster location you have defined on setup. Example: \\server01\share\Apps\Search.
The same location will be used to store the Search Index created during an app reload, however, the most common way to create content there is to use the search functions in an app. This may cause the folder size to increase to the point of filling up the particular storage drive.
This path will change if you have chosen to store your Apps in a different location.
This folder can be cleaned periodically to remove old files. It is advisable to study the file creation pattern before deciding on a cleanup schedule so as not to disrupt the end-user experience.
The default behaviour creates a search index during reload.
If you experience issues with reloads as documented in "Failed to create search index" script error during reload, we recommend changing the behaviour and setting nodes that perform reloads to not create search index during reload. See "Failed to create search index" script error during reload for configuration options.

Hi,
is the note regarding multi node environment still valid? Apps are stored in shared app folder and search index is - I assume - stored in that same folder. In that case I don't see any reason why a consumer node could not access search index data created by a different reload node.
Thanks

Hello @juraj_misina
I have updated the article accordingly. You are correct that this search index is created on the share. We have rephrased the recommendation to turn off the index generation on reload based on actual reload failures.
All the best,

Hello,
In order to clean up the seach file, is that required to stop all QS services first? (on a single node site)
Thanks

Hello @DGE_TAS
No manual restart is required to make use of the automated cleanup procedure.
All the best,
Sonja
Hello Sonja, thanks for your reply.
Actually i meant "In order to Manualy clean up the seach file, is that required to stop all QS services first?"

Hello @DGE_TAS
No restart is necessary. The files can be deleted while the services are operational.
All the best,
Sonja
