Magento 2 no longer provides the ability to initiate a reindex via the administration panel and instead requires that a properly setup cron job is setup. However, you are still able to manually reindex a Magento 2 store via SSH from the store root with the following command:
$ bin/magento indexer:reindex
Or to reindex only a specific index such as catalog_product_price you can use the following command:
bin/magento indexer:reindex catalog_product_price
Note: Some web hosts will require that all SSH commands for your Magento 2 store be run with the PHP user(generally named php) and not root access in which case use the following command:
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
If you do not want to reindex all available indexes in the Magento 2 store, or wish to view available indexes run the following SSH command:
$ bin/magento indexer:info
The default list of available indexes for Magento 2 is as follows:
design_config_grid Design Config Grid customer_grid Customer Grid catalog_category_product Category Products catalog_product_category Product Categories catalogrule_rule Catalog Rule Product catalog_product_attribute Product EAV inventory Inventory catalogrule_product Catalog Product Rule cataloginventory_stock Stock catalog_product_price Product Price catalogsearch_fulltext Catalog Search
If you want to see the status of any or all of the available Magento 2 indexes run the following commands:
For all available indexes
$ bin/magento indexer:info
For a specific index, for example catalog_product_price:
$ bin/magento indexer:status catalog_product_price
