Though unusual, it is possible for the Lucene indexes used for text searches to get out of step (for example, after a system crash).

If you find you need to reindex Bedework for searching,

Log in to the JMX-Console: https://yoursite/jmx-console
Select "org.bedework" from the left-most "Object Name Filter" menu. "org.bedework" is usually the bottommost link.
Select "service=Indexer"
Click the button "Invoke" for the operation "rebuildIndex" (this is the bottommost operation in the list).
Note: this process may take a while.

When completed successfully, you should see a message such as the following in your JMX console (your numbers will be larger, depending on the size and age of your installation):
