Site Search doesn’t support real-time or near-real-time search. After ingesting content, there’s a short delay before documents are searchable. The delay is usually a few minutes, up to ten.
Note: During development, plan for the delay and test in small batches to shorten feedback loops.
See New Documents as Soon as They’re Committed
You have two ways to make new or changed documents active:
- Option A: Ingest your changes and wait for the commit to complete.
- Option B: Ingest your changes, then reload the schema in your app:
- Go to App settings > All APIs > Search & Indexing.
- Scroll to the bottom and click Reload Schema.
Verify That New or Changed Documents Are Indexed
With either option, verify the result in Preview:
- Open Preview and run a search that targets your change (for example, a unique title or id).
- Confirm the document appears and fields are displayed as expected.
Tip: If a new field doesn’t appear in configuration lists, click Reload Schema in the relevant screen and try again.
Use Reload Schema after making changes that affect schema or when new fields or documents aren’t visible after the usual commit delay.
Reload Schema refreshes the Search App’s view of the schema and updates related lists in the SearchStax UI. It doesn’t delete data.
