Automatically updates the Drupal search index when a node is added or updated, on the fly, without the need to execute cron.php.

This module should be used when an up-to-date index is desired/required after any addition or update of indexable node content. Not just after the successful execution of cron.php.

This module is ideal for projects where, other than search indexing, there is no need to run cron often. Use this module to ensure your search index is up-to-date while keeping the frequency of cron executions to a minimum.

Only the edited node is indexed, ensuring the server load is also kept to a minimum.

Drupal 8

The drupal 8 version has a checkbox to enable in the config of the Search Pages (admin/config/search/pages) that use the default "content" indexing type. i.e. admin/config/search/pages/manage/node_search

To do:

  • Extend the config to allow us to check the node types we wish to auto index.
