[aseek-users] Does index -a reset the entire database, forcing it to re-index?

[Dr. John Takacs]

When you do a:   index -a   Does this reset the entire database to be expired, hence all URLs must be re-indexed?   I ask because I performed that command attempting to only index one site via a file, i.e. index -af "filename" , but it didn't work.  Now I have a database of 11,000 URLs that want to be indexed again, i.e. if I attempt to run index, all URLs start the indexing process unlike a few minutes prior where only a small number were waiting to be indexed.   My rationale for index -af "filename" was that the URL I was attempting to index had already been indexed.  I was simply trying to reindex that specific URL and only that specific URL.  index -f "filename" would not work.   What do people with millions of URL's do?   There should be a way to selectively index via a tag or reference ID or webspace.
