- **[Update the Commerce Search Index](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_search_index_build.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Update your search index so that changes to your products appear on your search and category pages. You can manually update the index or turn on automatic system updates.

    Before activating your B2B Commerce store, update your search index to enable shoppers to see products on your search and category pages. Also update the search index after you make changes to your store configuration or product catalog. If you only modify price books or price book entries, you don’t need to update the index unless you have a sort rule based on price. You can manually update your index or turn on automatic updates.
- **[Commerce Search Index Update Methods](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_search_index_update_methods.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can run a partial or full search index update depending on the type of information that has changed in your B2B Commerce store configuration or product catalog.

    Updating the search index can result in product errors and index failures. If all products have errors, the index fails. Review index failures in the red banner on the Search Index page, and review product errors in the orange banner. You can also download a CSV file to resolve product errors. Product errors and index failures are refreshed with each partial index update.
- **[Commerce Search Index Troubleshooting](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_search_index_troubleshooting.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Updating the search index can result in product errors and index failures. When some products have errors, you can download a CSV file on the Search Index page to review and resolve the errors. If all products have errors, the index fails. A common reason for product errors and index failures includes exceeding limits.
