# Automatic Product Re‑Indexing to Keep Search & Data in Sync

Previously, the search index (Solr) could fall out of sync with the main product data when:

* Products were not indexed, or
* Automatic indexing and product syncs did not line up correctly.

This could cause products to show outdated information or not appear correctly in search and listings.\
The system has been enhanced to:

* **Automatically index products** whenever they are created or updated.
* **Clear the relevant caches** when product changes occur.
* Update the **Data Transfer Framework (DTF)** so that any product updates done through DTF are also indexed.

**Benefits for merchants**

* Product search and category listings reflect **current data** (price, availability, details) more reliably.
* Reduced risk of customers seeing outdated product info after you’ve made changes.
* Less manual re‑indexing work for your team and fewer support issues related to “missing” or “incorrect” products.
* More trustworthy on‑site search experience, supporting better conversion.
