Indexing & Content Types

Configure which content is included in your AI knowledge base and how often it stays synchronized.

Navigate to Intufind → Indexing to access these settings.

Index Timing Settings

Control how frequently your content is automatically synchronized with Intufind's AI system.

Index Timing Settings Screenshot: wp-indexing-timing.png

Sync Interval

Default: 24 hours Range: 1-168 hours (1 hour to 1 week)

How often Intufind automatically checks for content changes and syncs them to the AI index.

IntervalUse Case
1-4 hoursFrequently updated inventory or content
24 hoursMost websites (recommended)
168 hours (1 week)Rarely changing content

Note: Manual syncs and real-time hooks (post save, product update) still work regardless of this setting. The interval is for scheduled background syncs.

Sync Time

Default: 2:00 AM Options: Any hour (24-hour format)

The hour of the day when scheduled sync runs. Choose a low-traffic time for your site.

Content Types Selection

Choose which post types and taxonomies to include in your Intufind index. Only selected content will be searchable and available to the AI chat.

Content Types Selection Screenshot: wp-content-types.png

Post Types

Post types are organized into groups:

Core Content

  • Posts — Blog posts and articles
  • Pages — Static pages

E-commerce (if WooCommerce active)

  • Products — Your product catalog

Custom Content

Any custom post types registered by themes or plugins will appear here.

Taxonomies

Taxonomies organize your content and help the AI understand relationships:

Core Taxonomies

  • Categories — Post categories
  • Tags — Post tags

E-commerce Taxonomies (if WooCommerce active)

  • Product Categories — Product organization
  • Product Tags — Product labels
  • Product Attributes — Size, color, etc.

Custom Taxonomies

Any custom taxonomies tied to your selected post types will appear here.

How Selection Works

  1. Check the box next to content types you want indexed
  2. Click Save Content Types
  3. A full sync is automatically scheduled to update the index

Important: If you deselect a post type, its content is removed from the index. If you later re-select it, content is re-indexed.

Item Counts

Each content type shows how many items are available:

  • Items/Terms count shows indexable content
  • Drafts, private posts, and other non-public content are excluded

Manual Sync

To force an immediate sync (useful after bulk changes):

  1. Go to Intufind → Status
  2. Find the content type you want to sync
  3. Click Sync Now

Or use the automatic sync triggered when you save content types changes.

What Gets Indexed

For each content type, Intufind indexes:

ContentIndexed Data
Posts/PagesTitle, content, excerpt, featured image, categories, tags, author, date
ProductsTitle, description, short description, price, sale price, SKU, categories, tags, attributes, images, stock status
TaxonomiesName, description, parent relationships

Sync Events

Content is automatically synced when:

EventSync Type
Post/product publishedIndividual item sync
Post/product updatedIndividual item sync
Post/product deletedRemoval from index
Taxonomy created/updatedTaxonomy sync
Scheduled intervalFull background sync
Content types changedFull sync triggered

Troubleshooting

Content not appearing in search

  1. Verify the content type is selected in Indexing
  2. Check the content is published (not draft/private)
  3. Wait for sync to complete or trigger manual sync
  4. Check Status page for sync errors

Sync taking too long

Large catalogs (10,000+ items) may take several minutes:

  1. Sync runs in batches automatically
  2. Progress is shown in the Status page
  3. Don't navigate away during manual syncs

Content type not showing

  1. Ensure the post type is registered as public => true
  2. Check that associated plugins are active
  3. Custom post types must be registered before Intufind loads

Taxonomies not syncing

  1. Taxonomies must be tied to at least one selected post type
  2. If you deselect all post types using a taxonomy, it's automatically deselected
  3. Re-sync after making post type changes

Privacy Considerations

Intufind only indexes publicly available content:

  • ✓ Published posts/pages/products
  • ✓ Public custom post types
  • ✓ Public taxonomies
  • ✗ Drafts and pending content
  • ✗ Private posts
  • ✗ Password-protected content
  • ✗ User personal data

You maintain full control over what is indexed.
