[Backport 5.2] Admin: improve search indexing page#58866
Merged
Conversation
When debugging a search issue, it's common to want to check the status of search indexing. Currently, you need to open the repo menu and click through to 'Settings' -> 'Search Indexing', which is not obvious. This change adds 'Search indexing' directly to the repo menu, matching what we do for 'Permissions' and 'Last sync log'. To counterbalance this, this change also removes the 'Embeddings Jobs' item. It felt cluttered to have two 'Embeddings' items, and we want to direct people towards policies instead of manually scheduling jobs.
In #58061 we added 'Search indexing' to the repo dropdown menu, in place of having two Embeddings items. However, I forgot to update the icon, so it was using the old Embeddings icon.
During a recent support issue, some engineers were confused by the wording, and thought the commit SHA and skipped files related to the in-progress indexing job. In reality, they are describing the last successful job run. This change tries to clarify the wording a bit.
Previously, when an index is not up-to-date, we'd always claim that we're actively indexing the repo. This is misleading, because indexing indexing could be stuck or failing. Now, we remove the loading spinner and just say the repo is "queued for indexing". If the index is out-of-date and it's been more than 8 hours since the last successful job, then we also show a warning tooltip.
