Re-indexing Search in Tridion 2013 SP1

The old reindexing tool has been retired as we moved into Tridion 2013. In this new version, there are many commands that can be executed via PowerShell scripts, including a command to reindex search in the CME.

Initially, I just ran Sync-TcmSearchIndex. This command did absolutely nothing in my case. Found out there's a way to query the database by going thru each publication one-by-one.

(Get-TcmRepository).ID | Sync-TcmSearchIndex -verbose

Search finally worked again after executing the above command!
