I am using Poormanscron which allows for interval cron runs. Bascially, the way it works is a cron job runs on the first page load after the interval, which is cool.

However, the way my site works, I'd like a person to be able to search through the site's content right after a post is made. As you know, the search isn't re-indexed till the next cron.

So, I'd like the crons to refresh every 10 minutes.

Is that too much on the server?

Or better yet, is there a module that will run a cron job after any post is uploaded?

Thanks

I have one idea you can invoke your cron on hook_nodeapi() hook when your new post is published....

function hook_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
  switch ($op) {
       case 'insert':
       module_invoke_all('cron');
  }
}

i hope by using this your every latest post comes in search result you have no need to set cron anywhere if you have only need for this(search) purpose.

Hey That is a great idea...

I haven't yet done any module development or adding any code to drupal though..

Which file to do I add that piece of code to? Or, if I have to create a separate file and put that code in there, where should I put that file and what should I call it?

-Thanks

You can easily write this code in your custom module. 

hook_nodeapi where hook will be your module name, If my module name is first_module then this function will be first_module_nodeapi()

if you don't know how to create custom module then please check this https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/creating-custom-modules
