Re-indexing an Endpoint
When you add new search parameters to an existing endpoint using a published or custom package, FHIR clients can use the new parameter to retrieve resources added to the repository after you applied the package. However, resources that existed before you added the new search parameter will not be returned until you re-index the endpoint. Until the endpoint is re-indexed, a FHIR client that uses the new search parameter receives an OperationOutcome stating that the search results might be incomplete.
Once you have applied a package that contains new search parameters, an option to re-index the endpoint appears next to the endpoint’s URL on the Server Configuration page (Health > FHIR Configuration > Server Configuration). If the repository has a lot of pre-existing resources, it can take a significant amount of time to re-index the endpoint.
