Search result missing in Web Client #98742

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/98742

Hello Magnus,

Thank you for the follow-up, and I’m glad to hear the results are appearing correctly again after you rebuilt the index in the Web Client.

To answer your question: yes, the Web Client and the desktop apps maintain their own local search indexes.

They all use the same underlying brain data, but each platform builds and stores its own index. That’s why rebuilding the index in the Web Client can fix search behavior there even if desktop search is working normally.

If you ever see another mismatch, rebuilding the index in that specific environment is the correct first step.

Let me know if anything else comes up, happy to help.

Best regards,

John
