This is involved. When I reindex all products but newly created products show up in catalog_product_index_price table (i'm mentioning this one given it does include cataloginventory_stock_status_idx and all other index tables). New products are showing in cataloginventory_stock_status_idx but the stock status is set to 1 (all other products that are working have a stock status of 0).
1. What is the cataloginventory stock status value suppose to tell me?
There are no errors when I reindex any of the indexes. Also if i try something like:
$_category->getProductCount();
On the category related to these newly created bundle products it returns 0. This is related because the actual, getProductCount(), function is pulling from an index collection. I don't totally think its the indexing given that the catalog is indexed correctly. It seems like it is happening to new products only.
2. Conceptually, what could cause a BUNDLE product from being indexed? What Should I look for?
Would greatly appreciate Short, sweet and to-the-point responses.
