I see, that explains it :)

Yes, I'd say forgetting to run index-init is a fairly common mistake.
Maybe we should check at startup whether the actual indices match to
the configured indices. Anyway, if the numbers don't match, you'll get
plenty of errors in the log.

No, no issue. It only takes a long time depending on the number of items and
size of your metadata. Tomcat must be down while you're running index-init.

One trick that can be used is to rebuild the indices on a clone of
your repository (make sure the configurations are the same) and then
copy over [dspace]/search to the production instance (while it's
down).

Running index-init with the -r parameter is rebuilding the indices (I
forgot the -r before, I think that one creates the tables).
