Within Visma Net, users can perform searches in help, wikis, and various **entities**, such as suppliers, customers, invoices, and contracts. To make the process quick and accurate, Visma Net uses semantic search and search indexes. ## Semantic search in Visma Net Visma Net uses semantic search through SQL databases that allows the system to identify the key phrases in text or documents, discover similar or related documents, and provide information to explain how documents are similar or related. To employ semantic search in your Visma Net instance, make sure that semantic search functionality is enabled in your SQL server. + In Microsoft SQL Server, the semantic search functionality is disabled by default. + In MySQL Server, the semantic search functionality is enabled by default. ## Search indexes The search indexes are used to accelerate searching in Visma Net. When users perform the day-to-day operations, such as adding new documents or updating customer accounts, the new information is added to the appropriate search indexes automatically. You need to update the search indexes only after you upgraded your Visma Net system from a version that did not include the search indexes. For detailed procedure, see: [Build search indexes](/visma-net-erp/help/management/manage-search/build-search-indexes/). /visma-net-erp/help/management/manage-search/build-search-indexes page After you have upgraded your system from a version that did not include the search indexes, you use the Rebuild full-text entity index (SM209500) window to build search indexes. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # Build search indexes After you have upgraded your system from a version that did not include the search indexes, you use the Rebuild full-text entity index (SM209500) window to build search indexes. For more information: [Rebuild full-text entity index (SM209500)](/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/rebuild-full-text-entity-index-sm209500/). After you have upgraded your system from a version that did not include the search indexes, you use the [Rebuild full-text entity index (SM209500)](/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/rebuild-full-text-entity-index-sm209500/) window to build search indexes. 1. Go to the [Rebuild full-text entity index (SM209500)](/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/rebuild-full-text-entity-index-sm209500/) window. 1. Click **Process all**. The indexing of the data may take some time. The green check mark appears for the indexes after their successful creation. The red appears for the indexes that could not be built. 1. For each index that could not be built, do the following: + Select the index, and then click **Process**. The system tries to make the index again. 1. If the problem persists, you can recreate the indexes as follows: 1. Click **Clear all indexes**. 1. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to build indexes anew. 1. If your system includes custom wikis, build indexes for such wikis. Click **Index custom articles**. The indexes are added to the system. The existing indexes are updated automatically.
