Why is my Adaptive Search publish process taking time to complete?
The Publish process publishes the Adaptive Search configuration you set up in the Quick Setup and Advanced Setup UIs. You must click Publish to run the process each time you make changes on the Setup tab. Your changes become effective when the process completes.
The variations in the time it takes for the successful completion of the publish process is mainly due to the volume of data, the number of objects enabled, and the number of attributes selected for each object.
For example, if you publish more attributes and more objects, then it takes more time to complete the publish and indexing process. You can improve the performance by removing any attributes that you don't want to be indexed. You can also monitor the progress of the publish process. Your configuration is live when the process completes successfully.
