invalidSearchCache utility
The invalidSearchCache utility can be used from the command line to invalidate the contents of the specified cache.
For environments in which the search index is created in non-production, cache invalidation calls from the UpdateSearchIndex scheduled job do not make it to the production servers. The job scheduler provides a command, InvalidateSearchCache, that can be used to invalidate the cache. If you want to manually issue the command, use the invalidSearchCache command line script.
Each time the invalidSearchCache utility is run, it enters a time stamp into the CACHEIVL database table. This time stamp indicates when the last invalidation CACHEIVL entries were generated. The next time that the utility is run, it compares this time stamp against the last modification time of all indexed entries. Any index entry that was modified later than the time stamp has its cached version invalidated.
