If you select more than one index to rebuild, the search indexes rebuild in the order they're listed in Business Manager by clicking App Launcher App Launcher, and then selecting site | Merchant Tools | Search | Search Indexes. This order is important because some search indexes rely on other indexes as input. For example, the suggest index relies on a product index, so the suggest index rebuilds only after the product index rebuild finishes.

If you rebuild multiple indexes separately, rebuild them in the order they're listed in Business Manager to make sure that your storefront reflects the correct changes.
