Problem/Motivation Child issue of [#3087218] Many modules have cron jobs. For example, Search uses cron to index content. When modules/themes are installed, there could be additional content to index, or other reasons to run cron. If you're using the Automatic Cron module, you would expect it should run soon after installing a module, or you might expect your new content to get indexed (in the case of help topics being added), but it may not happen for several hours. Steps to reproduce Install the Help Topics and Search modules. Try to search topics from admin/help.
