Newly Created Pages or Databases Not Appearing in Confluence Search

Question

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?

Can you accept this so others know you have to wait for it to show up.

It was just a "time" thing - a minor frustration when you're building / copying a bunch of stuff, but it showed up about 10 minutes after.

@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:

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