2. Click Clear index.
3. Re-index the website. See Re-indexing the website.

Re-indexing the website

1. Log into CMS admin viewWhere administrators manage access rights, website languages, scheduled jobs, export and import of data between websites, and configure new websites in a multi-site solution. (See edit view for comparison.).
2. Go to Scheduled Jobs.
3. Select the Episerver Find Content Indexing job.

   You can start the job manually or on a schedule. See also: Scheduled jobs.

Re-index your site under any of the following conditions:

• After you clear the index, because it is empty.
• If automatic indexing failed, or content must be reindexed for another reason.
• You changed content access rights, because automatic indexing does not detect those changes.
