When attempting to recreate the Domain Index (ftdomain.di), administrators typically delete the existing index using load domidx -d and then build a new index using load domidx -s.
However, after running load domidx -d, executing load domidx -s attempts to update obsolete full-text index documents rather than performing a fresh indexing, resulting in the following error:

[0C7C:0005-19A8] 10/09/2026 02:08:22 AM Domain Indexer finished indexing Database 'log.nsf': Document has been deleted
Currently, a full Domino server restart is required to properly recreate the domain index without errors.
Expected Behavior:
The Domain Indexer should be able to cleanly recreate ftdomain.di using server commands without requiring a restart of the Domino server.
