When you have done changes to an existing product catalog, such as adding or deleting products, you will need to index the catalog for those changes to be reflected in the search results.
There are two types of indexing: Build and Rebuild. Use the Build option to make a quick re-indexing of an existing catalog where you made changes to existing products. Build is faster than a rebuild because it performs a reindexing of only the items that were changed since the last build.
If you are using a brand new catalog or you made structural changes to your existing catalog (i.e. moving categories around, changing a product name, etc.), then you will need to perform a Rebuild. Rebuild takes longer because it does a complete indexing.
To build or rebuild your catalog, go to Administration > System Settings > Search Index.
Select Rebuild Index or Build index. Once you perform either of these two operations, you will see the changes or additions reflected in your search results.
If you have the Quartz service installed, then your catalog is reindexed every five minutes or whatever time interval you decide upon. Refer to the EPiServer Commerce Developer Guide for more information about the Quartz service.
