Populate search index¶

AtoM maintains an Elasticsearch search index to provide fast, full-text search results with faceting.

Occasionaly it is necessary to repopulate the Elasticsearch index from the primary database, especially after operations that affect many records, e.g.

• Importing data (CSV or EAD import)
• Moving a large series to a new parent record
• Moving a Fonds or Collection to a different archival institution
• Doing any bulk search and replace operation

Populating the search index requires running a symfony command line task, which is located in the root directory of the application.

php symfony search:populate
