How can i update the search index w/o using adminCP?

[Oreamnos]

i am going to make a script that will "post a new thread" when a user uses another function of my site, relatively unrelated to my forums.

i will be making an insert into db tables thread, post and updating user post count.

the only problem is updating the Search Index. how can i update the search index after i "manually" update the other db tables so that the post data will become searchable?

thanks

If you use the insert post functions it should do it instantly, or you could use fulltext and then theres no problem whatsoever.

cool! what is the code for the insert post function? that sounds like exactly what i need!

actually what would be more useful is if there is an insert_thread function...

does anyone know if that exists and if so, what parameters it takes?

thanks
