Rewalk Type Summary Table

Note: This documentation is for an old version of Webinator. The latest documentaion is here.

The following table summarizes the trade-offs for the new and refresh rewalk types.

Method	Advantages	Disadvantages

`New`	Guarantees most accurate representation of current site.	Uses more bandwidth and temporary disk space.
	Does not disturb live search database.	Longer time before site changes are reflected in live search.

`Refresh`	Faster.	Could get out of sync with actual site under rare circumstances.
	Uses less bandwidth and temporary disk space.	A lot of changed pages could substantially slow searches during the walk.
	Site changes are reflected in live search much sooner.	Requires `If-Modified-Since` support on walked web server.
