Index Rebuild from database flag

[bsdll]

Is it possible to cause a product to be added to the index from the database level only?

I am writing some product information directly into the database from an external source, but that information is not appearing in the search index until I run that process manually. This means after updates I then have to log in to the backoffice and rebuild indexes, but I would rather it was automatic.

You can edit or insert the data of the ps_search _ ****** tables in the database.

Thanks, I was hoping not to have to duplicate the search building code in my third party app, but that might be the way to go.

When you write directly to the product database, it is not a problem to write changes to other tables.
You can create a new function (php file) in Prestashop and pass it parameters for reindexing.
For inspiration, you can use the Search.php file in the ./classes folder

public static function indexation($full = false, $id_product = false)
