How often does Doofinder index the Product Feed?

By default, Doofinder indexes product data on a daily basis when the automatic option is enabled.

However, this feature allows you to schedule the index tasks as a CRON. The system utility cron can be used to schedule programs to run automatically at predetermined intervals. In this case, you can choose between indexing your feed once a day, periodically, configuring a time interval between index or scheduling specific timing (maximum six times a day).

🗒 Note: This feature is not supported if indexing via API.

How to Configure Indexing Options

To access these options, please go to your Admin Panel, Search Engine > Settings > Indices and click on 'Configuration'.
