To provide keyword searching, the search engine maintains an index of words found in the content and its fields, along with text added to your content by other modules (such as comments from the core Comment module, and taxonomy terms from the core Taxonomy module). To build and maintain this index, a correctly configured <a href="@cron">cron maintenance task</a> is required. Users with <em>Administer search</em> permission can further configure the cron settings on the <a href="@searchsettings">Search settings page</a>.
