  The Search functionality of Archiva allows a user to search for specific artifact references in the repository.
 
+* Indexing

+
+  []
+  
+  During repository scanning, the <<<index-content>>> consumer (see {{{../adminguide/consumers.html}Consumers}}) creates an
+  indexing task and queues it in an indexing task queue. This indexing task is in turn executed by a task executor and
+  that's where the actual indexing happens. A similar indexing task is also created and queued as artifacts are deployed
+  in the Archiva repository or proxied from a remote repository. The reason behind this is to avoid multiple or simultaneous
+  update of the index (a repository scan might be executing while artifacts are being deployed in the repository).

 * What Can Be Searched?
 
   The repository files that are indexed during repository scan can be configured in the Repository Scanning page, in the
