reindex

Triggers a re-index event on the database. This operation may require an extended amount of time, depending on the size of your database.

Description

Executing a re-index rebuilds the indexing configuration files and then re-indexes all of the content in the database against these new definitions. You must execute a re-index if you ever add, modify, or remove search categories. It is also recommended that you re-index your database after an upgrade of the Legacy Content Delivery application.
