just curios but what are the implications of trying to use field indexer on a site with 42000+ nodes?
can drupal even reliably handle that many nodes at once?

good point i was just asking about trying to index as many in one shot, but it looks like drupal can only handle indexing about 200 at a time

By default Drupal will index up to 500 posts per cron run. Settings at /admin/settings/search

If you're in a hurry to get your site re-indexed, you could increase the cron frequency, or run the cron.php script manually a few times.
