Rebuild search index effectively

[Fabrizio Carloni]

Do you know if there is a way to bypass the web server (Apache) and rebuild search index from shell scripts? I use Prestashop 1.7.7.5 with PHP 7.4 and I would like to have the webserver free from a heavy workload during indexing for the benefit of user navigation.

Best regards,
Fabrizio.

Searching on the internet I found this article https://netlogica.it/blog/72-prestashop-come-reindicizzare-il-database-prodotti-in-modo-efficace (in Italian) which proposes this script:

script prestashopNetlogicaIndexer.php

<?php
    // Netlogica hack - Prestashop search indexing

    echo "\n".'Starting Netlogica Indexing Hack...'."\n";
    $timeStart = microtime(true);

    include({path_fisico_hosting}.'/config/config.inc.php');
    Search::indexation(1);

    $timeEnd = microtime(true);
    $executionTime = ($timeEnd - $timeStart);
    echo '-> index complete '.$executionTime.' sec.'."\n\n";
?>

Do you think it can also work on Prestashop 1.7.7.5?

Thank you and greetings,
Fabrizio.
