    • In the Run every box, type the number of days between crawls. For example, to schedule a full crawl to start every other day, type 2.

    • In the Starting time list, select the time of the day from which to start the scheduled crawl.

    • If you want to crawl more frequently than once a day, select the Repeat within the day box, type the number of minutes to wait between crawls in the Every box, and type the total number of minutes in which to repeat the crawl within the same day in the For box.
