I added a Content search webpart on my main site. This query has to show me all the subsbite which are created. It's working pretty well but sometimes when I have created a project, I have to wait more than 1h before to be able to see it in my webpart. So a simple question, how to refresh my lists quicker?
Thanks for your help
You cannot control SharePoint Online search indexing frequency. Sometimes you see new content in matter of minutes, sometimes it may take up to 24 hours. This is because SPO uses Continuous Crawl.
You can only ask content to be "reindexed", e.g., in list settings, but it only marks the list for reindexing the next time search crawl runs.
If you need guaranteed fresh results, you need to make direct queries via REST API, CSOM, or traditional Content Query instead of using CSWP.
I suggest using ajax Timer Class to refresh your webpart.
Here is an example shows an UpdatePanel control that displays a randomly generated stock price and the time that the stock price was generated. The Timer control updates the content in the UpdatePanel control every 10 seconds.
You can review Docs here for more details.
