# Reindex Typesense

Reindexing is typically needed after deploying a fresh Typesense instance, migrating to a new Typesense cluster, or recovering from Typesense data loss while your primary database remains intact.
In this scenario, Typesense is empty while your primary database holds transactions, balances, ledgers, and identities. Reindexing populates Typesense with all existing records so search works correctly.
Blnk continues to index new and updated records live while a reindex runs. You do not need to wait for the bulk reindex to finish before searching recently created transactions.
***
## How it works
Blnk reads all records from your database and indexes them into their respective Typesense collections (transactions, balances, ledgers, identities).
```bash cURL wrap theme={"system"}
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5001/search/reindex" \
-H "X-blnk-key: "
```
```typescript TypeScript wrap theme={"system"}
const response = await blnk.Search.startReindex({});
```
```json Response theme={"system"}
{
"status": "in_progress",
"phase": "indexing_transactions",
"total_records": 2145709,
"processed_records": 2145709,
"started_at": "2026-02-12T12:13:10.448612096Z"
}
```
Check the reindex status. Completion time depends on the size of your data.
```bash cURL wrap theme={"system"}
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5001/search/reindex" \
-H "X-blnk-key: "
```
```typescript TypeScript wrap theme={"system"}
const response = await blnk.Search.getReindexStatus();
```
```json Response theme={"system"}
{
"status": "completed",
"phase": "done",
"total_records": 3240705,
"processed_records": 3240705,
"started_at": "2026-02-12T12:13:10.448612096Z",
"completed_at": "2026-02-12T12:18:42.018420264Z"
}
```
Once the reindex finishes, confirm that all records are in Typesense by searching each collection with `q: "*"` to return all records.
```bash cURL wrap theme={"system"}
curl -X POST http://localhost:5001/search/{collection} \
-H 'X-Blnk-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-d '{ "q": "*" }'
```
```typescript TypeScript wrap theme={"system"}
const response = await blnk.Search.search(
{
q: '*',
},
'transactions',
);
```
```go Go wrap theme={"system"}
results, resp, err := client.Search.SearchDocument(
blnkgo.SearchParams{Q: "*"},
blnkgo.Transactions,
)
```
Compare `found` and `out_of` values with your expected record counts. If anything is missing, run the reindex again.
***
## Error handling
Structured errors are available from Blnk Core 0.15.0 and later.
Starting a second reindex while one is already running returns `409 Conflict` with `error_detail.code` set to `SRCH_REINDEX_IN_PROGRESS`.
```json 409 Conflict wrap theme={"system"}
{
"error": "A reindex operation is already in progress",
"error_detail": {
"code": "SRCH_REINDEX_IN_PROGRESS",
"message": "A reindex operation is already in progress",
"details": {
"status": "in_progress",
"phase": "create_collections",
"total_records": 0,
"processed_records": 0,
"started_at": "2026-06-13T00:36:38.149512Z"
}
}
}
```
To resolve the error:
| Code | What to do |
| :------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SRCH_REINDEX_IN_PROGRESS` | Poll [Check reindex progress](/reference/get-reindex) until `status` is `completed`, then start a new reindex if needed. |
