Umbraco - Examine index not updated

I am using Umbraco CMS, and trying to use its site search function that uses Examine.

When I edit a page and publish it, the examine index is not updated, hence search results are always out of date. I have to manually delete the Index folder to update it.

Shouldn't the index be updated automatically everytime you update the content?

You can manually update the index by using Examine Dashboard.

To automatically rebuild indexes on app startup, you could add this line into ExamineIndex.config located in config directory

<Examine RebuildOnAppStart="true">

Indexes should rebuild automatically when you publish/republish a content node. If it doesn't work, you may have configuration problem with Examine.

I wrote a class that updates the index on publish.

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
using Examine;

public class UmbracoEvents: ApplicationBase
{
  /// <summary>Constructor</summary>
  public UmbracoEvents()
  {
    Document.AfterPublish += new Document.PublishEventHandler(Document_AfterPublish);
  }

  private void Document_AfterPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e)
  {
    // Rebuild SiteSearchIndexer
    ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection["SiteSearchIndexer"].RebuildIndex(); // Unfortunately this doesn't index the latest change, must republish to index it
  }
}

However it doesn't get the latest change even if it is supposed to run "after" publish. So, to make the search results up to date, you have to publish twice :S
