h1. Creating Search Indexes

The search functionality will not work until the search indexes are created. These take a long time to create and also take a lot of disk space (which is why I don't include them in the Docker image). See below for how to create the indexes.

h2. Creating them in the UI (for each work)

# Start by logging into the administration UI (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/). The username and password for the Docker image is admin/changeme.

# Select "Works"

# Select the work you want to create the search indexes for

# Click the action dropdown at the bottom of the page and select "Make search indexes"

The process make take a while, especially for large works.

h2. Creating them from the command-line (and for all works)

You can also create the search indexes from the command-line. You can do this to create indexes for all works. This will take a great deal of time (like all night).

To do this, go to where the code for the project is stored and run the make_search_indexes command:

<pre>

python manage.py make_search_indexes -c

</pre>
