This feature is not scheduled for release

Problem Definition

Currently search indexing can only be filtered by specifying a root node instead of using the "System Wide" reindex option. This may take allot of time for large sites since search index will look at all the children of the root node. There should be a way to specify which asset types should be reindexed.

Technical Specification

Search Manager Details Screen Changes
Asset type selector should be added under System Wide option with the inherit check box, so that user can select type "Page" and inherit all its sub classes (i.e. Standard Page).
Search Reindex HIPO Job Changes
Currently reindex hipo job calls getChildren() function with only the parent assetid as the parameter. Type and inherit parameters need to be added to the getChildren() function call to filter by asset types.
