Short answer
Most documents are searchable within seconds after upload and processing.
Full explanation
AskTuring processes and indexes documents in real time. In most cases, newly uploaded files are ready to be searched within seconds.
Processing time can vary depending on:
File size
File format
Number of files uploaded at once
If you upload the maximum allowed batch (100 files or 100 MB), it may take slightly longer. You can monitor the progress in the upload status area.
Once processing is complete, the documents are instantly added to your Index and available for search.
Tip
Large or complex files (such as scanned PDFs with OCR) may take extra time to process before becoming searchable.
