Unable to reindex from backend, bug?

[MagePsycho]

There is no way to reindex from backend. Whatever you do it says: Reindex Required.
But using command line works fine:
php dev/shell/indexer.php reindexall

It's not bug, now all indexers work by crontab therefore you should configure your crontab to run script ./pub/cron.php every minute

Not everyone has cron installed, we should still have the 'refresh' option. Assigning to Sergii and creating internal ticket.

+1. Would be great have ability to force-reindex something, also would be great make reindex for specific store views

This behavior is as expected by design.

Indexing has become a background operation with automatic consideration for partial or full re-indexing.

Documentation will be updated with details about asynchronous admin functions.
