Check the Search Index Job Status

You can check the status of the search index process on the Job Status page. Go to Commerce > Websites > Website List, and click View in the Search Index Status column.

The Job Status page shows how much time has passed while the search index is processing. Click Refresh to update the page.

Note:

Changes to an item record trigger an index update. The Records Finished column on the Job Status page always shows the total number of records being processed.

The job names on the Job Status page tell you if the search index is being built, rebuilt, or updated, and why. Every item update gets an entry on the page, unless you’re updating a lot of items at one time—then updates are batched, so you’ll see fewer entries than the number of items updated.

The following table lists all possible job names; which ones you see depends on your NetSuite configuration.
