Answer 1

Which products should be indexed are defined by flexible search queries.

You find them in hmc/backoffice by navigating to System/Facet Search/Indexed Types. Select your indexed type. There you find full and update queries.

The full query is used by a Full SolR Indexer CronJob which runs in the default case every night and recreates the SolR index completely. The update query similarly is used by a Update SolR Indexer CronJob which runs by default every hour and just updates products which have been changed in between. Therefore you find something like WHERE {sl:modifiedtime} >= ?lastIndexTime in the update query, which is missing in the full query.

You can change the query in every way you need it. E.g. assuming your query is:

SELECT {pk} FROM {Product}

change it to

SELECT {pk} FROM {Product} WHERE {myAttribute} LIKE 'index this product'

PS: Find the Solr Indexer Cronjobs on your associated Facet Search Config (System/Facet Search/Facet Search Config).

PPS: There is also a delete query, where you define products which should be removed from SolR index.
