search index is reset when new products are added

[mj1758]

Hi

I use Prestashop 1.7.3.4 and have around 1200 products in catalogue. When a new product is added to the catalogue, the search index is automatically cleared and only around 17 products remain in the index. I have to manually click on " Add missing products to the index " or "Re-build the entire index " to index all products. I switched automatic indexing to "no" but the problem still remains. My question is why the whole index gets cleared every time a new product is added? only the new products should be missing from the index

Hello:

It should not happend what you describe, but if you want to try a fix from code, at /classes/Search:indexation function you can try to set $full = false; at the beginning of the function or just comment all lines that erase catalog (from 584 to 615). That should avoid to regenerate entire catalog in any circunstances.

As you have a non-latin alphabet it might be some bug specific to that. I doubt Prestashop tests every change for such configurations. You might have a look at those 17 remaining products and see whether they have something in common.
