Generally Magento's index can be updated in 3 ways (depending on usage and configuration):



  1. "On Save"

  2. "By Schedule"

  3. Using indexer:reindex command

This is what I can gather from the description in the official documentation for each of these ways:



  1. The index will be updated immediately when e.g. a product is changed in the back end and saved.

  2. According to the graphic of the Indexing types in the documentation, when editing and saving a product, entries are made in a changelog table (via MySQL triggers). Magento's cron:run command (which would be set up to run every minute by default) will then index those changed products.

  3. This command will update the complete index.

Just for clarification I want to know if the following is true for each of the 3 ways of updating the index:



  1. The index is updated "On Save" only for the affected data (i.e. the changed product), not the whole index (which would take very long).

  2. The index is only updated for the changed products (should be obvious).

  3. The index is updated for all products, regardless of whether they have been changed or not.

And to clarify further: is it true, that the only way to update the index only for changed products is via "On Save" or via "By Schedule" plus cron:run?

          Reindex On Save - The Reindex will take place in real time when a change is saved in backend. It will be fine for small websites with a few admin users.



          Reindex On Schedule - Reindex will be scheduled to take place via cronjobs accordingly. It will be suitable for stores with huge data and many admin users. If you have set reindex to occur every one hour, if you are making any change in the backend your change will be applied in the frontend within a maximum period of 1 hour.



          indexer:reindex - When you want to reindex all indexers we can use this command.Ex: If a reindex gets locked we can reset the indexer and use this command to reindex all indexers.



          Both Reindex On Save and Reindex On Schedule can be used to update the index of changes stores. You can choose between the two based on your store size and frequency of changes made to products.
