Indexing & content scope updates?

We're looking at this feature because we'd like to replace Atomic Search to save some money. However, it doesn't look like there's been an update in 6 months or so based on the posts and blogs here. Any progress being made? Is this feature a priority for instructure?

Ideally this feature would search across all Canvas content including test questions and files, and have instant indexing of new/edited content.

So two questions:

  1. is there a more specific timeline for content scope updates? 
  2. How does indexing work for new & edited content? 

indexing is our biggest issue with Atomic Search. It requires a manual index update which takes a long time. So if you are using search to keep track of your course edits/building, it's almost useless because you can't make changes, then search again to check your progress.
