Hi All,

We've currently encountered an issue where we are quickly running out of filesystem space used by the search indexes and are looking to reduce the consumption. 

We have dedicated indexes for most of our work classes already.  However we forgot to enable the "For specified properties" check box before we indexed them.

Which we can do, but I assume this would only apply to newly indexed work and a re-index of those classes would be required. 

My question is this and I could have sworn I'd seen something about this a while back but unable to find the article now, if you created a dedicated index for a work class those documents would be removed from the Default index.  Can someone confirm this please?

I also assume based on my testing that when we enable the option "For specified properties" this applies to all indexes not just the dedicated ones requiring the default work index to also be re-indexed? 

I noted that the size reduced significantly when I did this in our preprod environment.

I've checked all the current documentation and cannot find an answer to this.

Thanks
Craig
