Initial setup
Once your Nosto Search and/or Category Merchandising (Universal) module is enabled, product data will take up to 12 hours to fully sync. Every subsequent re-index runs every 6 hours as shown in the table above.
Exclusion logic updates
The exclusion logic is being updated in three different scenarios:
When changing the global setting (e.g. hide excluded products), it will reflect in Nosto's Search within a few minutes.
Changing the exclusion logic for certain products is reflected within a few minutes.
Brand, category and tag based exclusions will be reflected during the next full catalog re-index.
