Author Two servers, same files, same catalog properties, diferent size an

Hi.

we have a cluster with two nodes. They have the same software installed.
The sites replicate well from node 1 to node 2.

We have configured index server the same way in both servers. The catalogs
find the same number of files 47431 (most of all PDF's 32793).

The size of the catalogs are very different: node 1 365 Mb., node 2 504 Mb.

All other propertiers (docs to index, deferred for indexing, word list, etc)
are the same.

But the most curious thing is that if you make a query to node 1 (small
catalog) you receive 10 results, while making the same query to node 2 (big
catalog), the results obtained are only 4.

Any ideas ??
I'd apreciate any suggestion.

do a merge and see if this fixes the size issue. Is it possible that if you
fail over to the second node and let it process all the docs on the shared
resources you get the same number of hits?

Windows 2000 Server

I've updated Adobe PDF ifilter to version 6, and now my catalogs are same
size.

I'm still having another trouble. I have PDF files with same name but stored
in different paths.

When i try to see an abstract of one of them, index server replies me the
one corresponding to the oldest file.

If i merge the catalog, the results are the same.

If i rebuild the catalog the resuls are the expected ones.

Any ideas ?
