FAST is crawling source, but the results do not show up in the FAST search

FAST server is crawling content with no errors.  I can see the documents in the crawl log, but when I do a search I get no results.

  Hi Dave, good question.  I think this problem comes from your environment suspending mid-crawl.  

  Even though it may look like indexing has completed, 90% of the time it actually hasn't.  As the environment suspends after 1hr of inactivity (3 if you've extended it) the process does not actually complete properly.  Try running it when you're actively using the environment or set it to run and walk away.  Just be sure to check your environment every 2.5hrs to either extend again if it's still indexing or see if it's finished.

  Hey Scott, 

  Thanks for the response.  However, I've been on the site all day and the crawl definitely finished.  I only have 170 documents in the document center; it takes about 3 minutes to do a full crawl. Any other thoughts?

  Thanks for the info Dave.  Wow - 3 minutes?  

  I did a little digging and thought these posts on MS Technet and Stackoverflow might help.

  Thanks, Scott!  I appreciate you looking into this.  The Stackoverflow article looks promising; at least I can start from scratch.  I'll be at it again in the a.m.
