Programmatically "Reset all Crawled Content"

I was wondering if someone might be able to provide a code snippet of programmatically performing the task that is achieved in the Admin UI tool:

Shared Services Administration: ... > Crawling - "Reset all crawled content"

I want to perform this step within code if poss (C#) or usingan stsadm command.

The following code should do the trick:

using Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration;

public static void ResetContent()
{
          
            try
            {
                SearchContext sc = SearchContext.GetContext(ServerContext.Default);
                sc.Reset(true);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("Unable to reset content index.", ex);
            }

}

Thanks mate!

You make it look so simple.... :)

Thanks Steve :)

I see that executing the SearchContext Reset De-Activates the Alerts though.

Any suggestions for how to programmatically Re-Activate them?

From the SearchContext you seem to have access to the Formatting of Alert Notification - but I can't find the Status switch...

Any further assistance greatly appreciated :)

PS. Either C# codeor stsadm commands solutionsare fine
