Full Text Search CorruptError

LadyLiissa82 · Yesterday, 11:39 PM

Hello! I'm getting an error when trying to use the Full Text search option:

ERROR: Unhandled exception
CorruptError:database disk image is malformed

From poking around the threads, it sounds like I need to remove the search database and let it rebuild, but I don't know how to do that. If that is the solution, can someone help walk me through it? TIA!

Easiest way would be to right click on one of the books in the library, open the book folder and then move up one directory level to the root directory of the library. Close calibre and delete the full-text-search.db file and then restart calibre. The full-text-search.db should then be regenerated.
