Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
New | Guarantees most accurate representation of current site. | Uses more bandwidth and temporary disk space. |
Does not disturb live search database. | Longer time before site changes are reflected in live search. | |
Refresh | Faster. | Could get out of sync with actual site under rare circumstances. |
Uses less bandwidth and temporary disk space. | A lot of changed pages could substantially slow searches during the walk. | |
