Make initial indexing for AGS more seamless
Today with AGS if you enable both indexing and search, your searches will fail until your index is complete.
Our self-managed customers can address this by enabling indexing but leaving search disabled, until the index has been completed. At that time, you can enable search and it will use the new index.
For GitLab.com, we are using a progressive deployment, and so we don't have this luxury. When we add new groups to indexing their search doesn't return results until the index is complete.
We should see if we can make these experiences easier and more seamless for users and administrators.
