In Business Manager you can create stop words and synonyms, modify guided search ranking, view statistics, view index documents along with their indexed fields, and rebuild indexes. You can also manage the capabilities of full text search indexes.
The search index uses one
index for each index type: Product, Spelling, Content, Synonym, and
Suggest. This index contains all localized and non-localized data for all
storefront locales.
Dependencies between indexes require that some
indexes are built together.
Note: You can run test queries on the product index.

On the Search Indexes page, if no full-text index has been built
yet or you want to update an index, select one or more indexes using

Progress information for the rebuild appears in the Status field.
