# Product Data Import

For FactFinder NG to run search queries, it needs a search index built from your product data. Import your product data first; NG then generates the associated search index automatically so users can perform searches.

> Changes to your product data are only available to FactFinder after a re-import. To refresh your search index outside the normal update interval, start a [manual data import](/docs/import/manual-import-product-data.md).
