Rebuild the search indexRebuild the search index

There may be a situation that occurs in Pure that requires you to rebuild the search index. For example, if you are searching for records that you know exist, but they do not appear in the search results as expected.

 

You may then need to rebuild the search index. This can be done by Administrators of Pure following these steps:

  1. Go to Administrator > System settings > Search and index.
  2. Wait until the tab loads and the content types are listed.
  3. Select all / relevant content types and then click Start reindexing.

You can follow progress on the same page as well. 

Once the reindex has completed verify that the search results now appear as expected.

Not all content is indexed, for example Keyword groups are not considered a content type and thereby not indexed. In order to find a Keyword group go to Administrator > Keywords, and browse the list.
