MSG_CI_MASTER_MERGE_REASON_EXPECTED_DOCS
MSG_CI_MASTER_MERGE_REASON_EXPECTED_DOCS is a trigger explanation. The event carries the expected document count and indicates that indexing progress reached a point where catalog consolidation was scheduled.
Compare the event count with crawl progress and scope changes
- Record the expected-document value from the expanded event and the catalog identifier.
- Correlate the trigger with large initial crawls, scope additions, or catalog rebuilds that repopulate many items.
- If the expected count is repeatedly unstable, inspect the data-source notification and crawl-scope behavior rather than forcing more merges.
Windows Search queues URLs, crawls items, and updates index structures in separate stages. A document-count-based merge trigger therefore reflects accumulated indexing work, not query syntax. It is especially meaningful after a reset or major scope change. The event should be treated as normal maintenance telemetry unless it is followed by abort/cannot-start events or the catalog repeatedly restarts consolidation without making progress.
