Hi,

I have a standard search on an Azure website and the index got corrupted. Now, I am trying to recreate the index, but it's a large site and it takes ages. Eventually, I got the following errors:

2016-06-07 16:04:31,793 [191] ERROR EPiServer.Search.RequestHandler: Update batch could not be sent to service uri 'http://xxx/indexingservice/indexingservice.svc/update/?accesskey=local'. Message: 'The operation has timed out   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

The entire folder is 53.1 MB so far, there are 35K pages in the DB.

Any ideas?
