Indexing

Provide some indexing details here, benefits for the client and possibilities

There are two mechanisms of indexing:

Entire data reindexing - An entire set of data (products, categories and content pages) are pushed to Hawksearch index at one time.
Single item reindexing - A single item (product, category, content page) is pushed to Hawksearch index. It happens when item is updated.

All indexing operations are processed asynchronously

Entire data reindexing

Items are reindexed using temporary index in background. The current (production) index is still used for searching. The temporary index is swapped with production index only when it is ready.

Single item reindexing

A single item update is pushed into current production index.

Automatic indexing

Manual indexing

List of indexers:

hawksearch_products - Reindex all products
hawkserech_content_pages - Reindex all content pages
hawksearch_categories - Reindex all categories

Reindexing CLI command:

php <magento>/<path>/bin/magento indexer:reindex hawksearch_products

Since all items are stored in the same Hawksearch index any indexer triggers the entire data set for reindexing, including products, content_pages and hierarchical data

Indexed Fields

The correct data indexing process requires some fields to be created in Hawksearch. Please refer to the Fields documentation for more information about Fields Management. It requires Default System Fields which are used to correctly identify documents in Hawksearch index as well as mandatory Products and Pages fields to be crated in Hawksearch Dashboard

Default system fields

The following system fields need to be created:

Field Name	Save As	Description
`__uid`	Text Value	This is the unique item identifier. For products `entity_id` is used
`__type`	Text Value	The item type. It is one of product or content_page
`category`	Text Value	The field for Hierarchy

Make sure that each default attribute, product type_id and all system fields have fields created in Hawksearch Workbench

__uid field should be set as Primary Key

category field should be set as Is Hierarchical Field?

Product indexing

Reindex command

php <magento>/<path>/bin/magento indexer:reindex hawksearch_products

Indexed attributes

It is possible to configure which product attributes will be pushed to Hawksearch index. The attributes configuration can be done on Product Settings tab through Stores > Configuration > HAWKSEARCH.

Default indexed attributes

The following attributes are pushed to Hawksearch index regardless of what is set in configuration.

Make sure that fields are created in Hawksearch Workbench

price_group_0_formatted
