Description

A walkthrough of basic indexing of content. 

 

Resolution

If you go to Find –> Index you’ll see a summary of the index. You’re also able to explore the index to browse its contents. You’ll notice that the search index is empty at this point:

EPiServer Find indexes content when:

  1. Content changes
  2. The scheduled job executes

EPiServer Find includes a scheduled job, accessible through admin mode:

If you run it manually you will eventually see that EPiServer Find has indexed your site:

f we return to Find –> Index we’ll see that our index has now been populated:

Note: By default, all public page-type properties will be indexed.  You may exclude specific properties from indexing by either adding an [JsonIgnore] attribute or by modifying the behavior of the indexing client:

// This property will not be indexed by EPiServer Find [JsonIgnore] public string MyProperty { get; set; }
