Rebuild Search Indexes

Search indexing collects property values from a vault and places them in indexes to give faster search results.

You might want to rebuild search indexes if you notice that searches are taking longer than usual. It is also possible that a vault client will display a message stating that the indexes need to be rebuilt. You can rebuild for individual sites; you can also rebuild for all sites at once, but this can impact performance depending on when you do it and how many sites there are.
