Moving Search Indexes up to datafolder

Unlike Sitecore 6.2, search indexes for Sitecore prior to 6.2 does not store the search indexes at Data Folder. Due to some glitches or issues for having indexes at webroot folder, it is a better approach to move the indexes at Data Folder. Following is the steps to do just that.

In web.config,

Locate <!-- Simple Settings --> and add the settings in red

<Settings>

<!-- Index folder change for stability -->

<setting name="IndexFolder" value="$(dataFolder)\indexes" />

...

</Settings>
