Search appears not to be working

[wax000]

I am having an issue with the search feature - it doesnt seem to be pulling products which contain the data searched for - I have flushed the cache, made sure the description etc are searchable, and the product is visible in both catalog and search. I have also checked that quantity is valid, item is in stock etc.
Anyone else having this issue?

Just to provide an update - I think this may be caused by the Index being out of date - but when you go to Index management, there doesnt seem to be a reindex option from the drop down actions box?

That's correct - Magento 2 expects cron to be running frequently. Please try running cron manually twice and then check search again.

You can run cron manually by using bin/magento cron:run.

@wax000 was your issue resolved by running cron?
