# SEARCH.WAITINDEXING

> Wait until pending index updates are visible.

Use `SEARCH.WAITINDEXING` to block until all pending index updates are processed and visible to queries.

See [Waiting for Indexing](/redis/search/index-management#waiting-for-indexing) for guidance on when to wait for index updates.

The command accepts an index name or alias and waits for every update queued before the command began. Writes that arrive later may require another call.

## Syntax

```redis
SEARCH.WAITINDEXING <name>
```

## Important points

<Warning>
  Do not call `SEARCH.WAITINDEXING` after every write. Batch updates are necessary for optimal indexing performance. Use this command only when you need to ensure queries reflect recent changes, such as in tests or CI pipelines.
</Warning>

## Response

Returns `1` when indexing is complete or `0` if the index was not found.
