Catalog size up and down ??

Is that normal?
I am populating my catalog, and i see the catalog size growing 45MB,
47MB, 52MB..1MB
and suddenly it goes to zero and starts again
Is that normal?
thanks
Alberto
The final size should be about 900MB , but is only 70MB...what is
happening:?

Could you post the full output of -- SELECT @.@.version -- as this will be
helpful info in troubleshooting SQL FTS or FT Indexing issues. How many rows
in your FT-enabled table? Did you run a Full or Incremental population? If
the latter, does the FT-enabled table have timestamp column?
You should review your server's Application event log for "Microsoft Search"
or MssCi souse events. What I suspect that is happening is normal & expected
and caused by either a Shadow merge or Master Merge of FT Catalog files
usually in 50K increments being merged into a single compressed Master
catalog file. Note, the FT Catalog files are compressed so it will not be
the same size as the text in your FT-enabled column.
Thanks,
John
