The Actions section on the Apache Solr Search Configuration > Default Index page gives you manual control over search indexing. You want to choose one of these options if you have new content you want to index at once:
Click Index queued content (50) to index as many items as running cron would.
Click Index all queued content to index all items that haven’t yet been indexed. This can put an increased load on your server and have a negative effect on your website’s performance.
You can re-index your entire website by clicking Queue all content for re-indexing. Depending on the quantity of content on your site, this will take some time. In the ordinary course, 50 items will be indexed every time cron runs. You can re-index faster, at the cost of slower website performance, by then clicking Index all queued content.
To delete your search index, click the Delete the Search & Solr index button. Most users will never need to do this. The following situations may require you to use this option:
Your search index has become corrupt.
You must eliminate development data from the site index when you launch a site and add production data.
You move your Acquia subscription (glossary term, activate to view definition) to a different website.
You switch from your own Solr server to Acquia Search, or vice versa.
In many use cases, you will want Acquia Search to index only your production environment (glossary term, activate to view definition) and not your development or testing environments. You can set your non-production environments to read-only, so that searching is available on all your environments, but content changes on non-production environments will not affect your production search index. For information about how to do this, see Read-only Apache Solr search index.
