function hook_update_index in Drupal 7

Update the search index for this module.

This hook is called every cron run if search.module is enabled, your module has implemented hook_search_info(), and your module has been set as an active search module on the Search settings page (admin/config/search/settings). It allows your module to add items to the built-in search index using search_index(), or to add them to your module's own indexing mechanism.

When implementing this hook, your module should index content items that were modified or added since the last run. PHP has a time limit for cron, though, so it is advisable to limit how many items you index per run using variable_get('search_cron_limit') (see example below). Also, since the cron run could time out and abort in the middle of your run, you should update your module's internal bookkeeping on when items have last been indexed as you go rather than waiting to the end of indexing.
