The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

If you are re-adding records at the same rate you are deleting, setting to reuse should be fine. If you delete more than you add doing what you're doing now is probably better or if you're reorging based on an index for speed of reading you should still reorg weekly

Subject: Reuse vs. Reorg
We have a file that is somewhat dynamic. Records are generated, they are kept for awhile, some are deleted, others are generated, and so on. The deleted records increases by about 100,000 per day. We run a reorg once a week to get the deleted records back. I had thought about changing the file to reuse deleted records to minimize the need to do reorgs. Is there any downside to this? My boss thought that if the default for files was *NO then there might be a reason that we wouldn't want to do it. This isn't a file where we would want/need to reactivate the deleted records.
It would be easier to restore from a backup or just regenerate them.
Thoughts?
