As we mentioned on a recent post covering CS database shrinkage, the search data in the Community Server SQL database takes up a lot of real estate. A lot of it. You certainly don't need to lug it around if you're moving the database from one location to the next, so empty the searchbarrel before making a move. The indexes will be rebuilt automatically on the other side and you saved yourself a ton of FTP wait time.
TRUNCATE TABLE cs_SearchBarrel
TRUNCATE TABLE cs_SearchIgnoreWords
UPDATE cs_Posts SET IsIndexed=0
