     If it shows up via the [Elasticsearch Search API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-search.html), check that it shows up via the rails console (`sudo gitlab-rails console`):

     See [Elasticsearch Index Scopes](elasticsearch.md#elasticsearch-index-scopes) for more information on searching for specific types of data.

     You will need to re-run all the rake tasks to re-index the database, repositories, and wikis.

 - **The indexing process is taking a very long time**
 
     The more data present in your GitLab instance, the longer the indexing process takes.
