Once you have a provider configured, we're ready to enable entities to be indexed. To do this, navigate to Admin Tools > General Settings > Universal Search Control Panel.

At the top of this page, you'll see a few details about the provider you selected. Below you'll find a list of the entities that are able to be indexed.

To enable a new entity type, click the row of the entity and select Enable Indexing on the dialog that pops up. This entity is now enabled for Universal Search and a request has been queued to bulk index this entity.

Keeping Entities in Sync

As you'll read later, the entities should keep the index up-to-date as changes are made. A system job has also been created to re-index every night (this ensures that items added through SQL or other means are addressed). The settings of this job can be adjusted under Admin Tools > System Settings > Jobs Administration > Universal Search Re-Index.

Site Entity
The Universal Search Re-Index job will keep all entities except the Site indexed. The Site entity is a bit different and is discussed in detail below.
