Description

Instant Search relies on a separate index and so there may be some delay while site content gets reindexed to power the search.

Some ideas of how to give feedback:
- provide a dashboard in wp-admin
- dashboard in Calypso
- feedback in the front end search UI that content is currently reindexing

Details we could provide:
- estimated time
- estimated number of missing items
- links to dashboards for debugging
- ???
