I created a new intranet collection and started a crawl.
After a while, I realized it was going to take longer than needed to test, so I click on the ‘Stop Crawl’ link. While the link changed to ‘Resume Crawl’, it in fact continue to crawl (the number of documents kept incrementing) and an error displayed.
I tried to delete the collection, but that failed with an error that it was still crawling.
The only way I could get it to stop was to restart the VM.
Next try, I went to the Advanced Managment tab and clicked on ‘Start Test Crawl’, leaving the default of 100. It is currently at 500+ -
Is there a way to stop/abort a crawl without restarting and how do I get it to run a test that limits the number of crawled documents?
