In a SharePoint environment, the content is crawled automatically from time to time according to a set schedule. But sometimes, e.g. when you are developing a SharePoint solution, you want a crawl to happen right now. These are the steps you have to take:

1. Go to the central administration of your SharePoint Server
2. On the left side under ‘Shared Services Administration’, click on ‘SharedServices1′ or an equivalent of it
3. In the area ‘Search’, click ‘Search Settings’
4. There, click ‘Content sources and crawl schedules’
5. Finally, find the arrow on the right end of the name of ‘Local Office SharePoint Server sites’, click it and start the crawling. Attention: If you start a Full Crawl, it may be that you have to wait a really long time.
