backlinks cron node_index_node node_update_index action trigger views Search: Links to

Quite a few people have been wondering why their backlinks don't update after new content is submitted. Researching other posts has shown that the reason is that the new content is not indexed in the search engine, and the views argument relies upon the index to create the backlinks list. This is why after running cron the backlinks list updates with the new content.

I thought that it might be nice to have a discussion about the best way to index these nodes so that the backlink function immediately works as desired.
