How to Turn off Flexible Search (FlexSearch)

Troubleshooting


Problem

If the Flexible Search (FlexSearch) feature is accidentally enabled, it may not be possible to disable it via the "madconfig.sh flexsearch_sync_svc_disable" command.

Symptom

Attempts to disable FlexSearch after enabling it via Workbench configuration may fail. The logfiles may show the command has run, but then will continue to show errors similar to the following (indicating the service itself did not stop):
