Description

the NC admin screen of elastic search should show

  • if the index is running (fulltextsearch:test returns OK)
  • a progress bar of how many files are already indexed - especially important setting up the search on an existing (big) NC installation- even if the number is only a rough estimate. currently not even the occ command provide this feedback.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Nextcloud admin screen and the occ command mentioned in the issue, then identify how Elasticsearch indexing currently reports status. Done means the admin screen shows whether indexing is running and an estimated indexed-file progress bar, with comparable feedback from the occ command.
