CI_S_CATALOG_RESET
CI_S_CATALOG_RESET means the catalog was deliberately reset after a condition that makes existing index data unsafe to reuse, specifically a diacritic-setting difference or corruption according to the built-in description. A reset changes catalog state and can temporarily make query results incomplete while items are indexed again.
Identify why the reset occurred before judging crawl progress
- Correlate the status with
CI_E_DIACRITIC_SETTINGS_DIFFER, corruption events, service maintenance, or explicit reindex operations. - Record the catalog identity and the time at which indexing restarted so incomplete results can be explained against crawl progress.
- Do not repeatedly trigger another rebuild while the reset catalog is already being repopulated; first verify whether the queued item count is moving.
Microsoft describes the catalog as the highest-level searchable collection and documents separate value and inverted indexes populated during the update stage. The Open Specifications catalog format also stores a dedicated diacritic-settings file. If those settings no longer match, retaining the old full-text structures would mix different linguistic assumptions. Diagnostics should distinguish a one-time reset followed by healthy reindexing from recurring reset events, which indicate an unresolved settings or storage problem.
