Crontab configuration

MT Search is using cron (periodic tasks) for product indexing. It should be run every 5 minutes by default.

How to calculate product limit per process:

{STORE_COUNT} – Your store count.

If you have more than 10 000 products, recommended optimal product per process number: 400/{STORE_COUNT }

If you have less than 10 000 products, recommended optimal product per process number: 200/{STORE_COUNT}

If you have less than 5 000 products, recommended optimal product per process number: 100/{STORE_COUNT}
