SI: Creating a new product via the REST API doesn't make it searchable

[WillStrohl]

Describe the bug

If you create a product using the REST API ProductsCreate() endpoint, it is not added to the search index - even if you correctly set the IsSearchable property to true.

Support Request: 5347

Software Versions

• DNN: 08.00.04
• Hotcakes: 03.02.01

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a REST API project.
2. Call the ProductsCreate() endpoint while ensuring that the IsSearchable property is set to true. All other properties can be any value.
3. Verify that the product shows up in the Catalog > Products area of the administration.
4. Try searching for the product in the Hotcakes Commerce search view using any value in the product title or description.

Expected behavior

The product is found when searching for it.

Actual behavior

The product is not found. It will not be available in the search index until the product is updated again using any existing method of updating it.
