Newly Created Pages or Databases Not Appearing in Confluence Search

I'm trying to create a simple database in Confluence with a few basic fields, including an Entry Link field and a Link field. However, when I attempt to search for other recently created databases or pages to link to, they don’t appear in the search results. Is this a known issue with Confluence? Are there delays in indexing new pages or databases that might explain this behavior?

@bduran welcome to the Atlassian community

Are you still having this issue?  Do you have a very large space or instance?  Is this happening for everyone?

I don't have an answer, but I can confirm I'm having the same issue. I created a database, created another database to draw some data from it, and I cannot see the first database. 

This is in the span of about 10 minutes, and the space is not very large - maybe 200 pages at most, a few dozen whiteboards, and probably 10 other (very small) databases.

@Larry Stouder-Studenmund There may be some time needed after creating something for reindexing, so it's picked up for search results. Someone with more knowledge may know.

Have you tried just searching for all databases? I've never done this (since I don't have any databases), but you can:

  1. Click in the big Search box at the top.
  2. Click the filters button.
  3. Open the Type list and select Databases.
