improve user experience by reindexing in a backgroundTask

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

      Description

      When a user initiates a reindex process, they do not receive any feedback about the status of the process. If they navigate away from the page, they cannot see where the reindex process is, so they have to wait for the process to complete to see the outcome.

      in addition, two users who have admin privileges may initiate a reindex at the same time, which is just a waste because it only needs to be reindexed once.

      We can extend the BackgroundTask framework to handle reindexing which allows for progress updates and a way for the user to navigate away from the page.
