Indexing a a large number of new nodes

Posted by koffer on January 23, 2013 at 2:36am

Hi. I migrate a lot of content for another system into a drupal site. Many nodes were created, something like 70,000 nodes i think. My problem is the search cron dont end to index all the content so the new nodes dont appear in search result. There is a way to index a lot of node in one cron job? some code to work with, in server to do the job?

drush may have a command to aid with this however, based on my searches, its dependent on hardware as well. My searches also reveal that you may want to look at apache solr rather than core search (if that's what you are using) with 70K nodes.

You can set number of nodes

You can set number of nodes to index in Search module settings. And run the crib often.

However, as VM has mentioned, I too would go for Solr for faster searches.
