The CoreMedia Search Engine provides a fast and efficient full-text search for the indexed contents. However, because of the asynchronous nature of the indexing process, search results do not always reflect the current state of the repository. A content may need a couple of seconds after it was sent to the Search Engine, before it appears in the search results. Sometimes you can query for changes faster if you use the more powerful but in general slower built-in query feature of the CoreMedia Content Server.

The CoreMedia Search Engine supports search for the latest document version or working version. If you want to search for older versions you have to use the query feature of the CoreMedia Content Server or use the CoreMedia CAE Feeder to index the required data as part of content beans.
