Description:

Search index related functions have been moved to a service and deprecated. See the documentation on \Drupal\search\SearchIndexInterface for details.

Before	After
`search_index()`	`\Drupal::service('search.index')->index()` -- Note that if you are doing an indexing run with multiple calls, it will be more efficient if you pass the new last argument to ::index() `$update_weights` as `FALSE` and use the returned `$words` needing update, and then call `::updateWordWeights()` at the end of your indexing run.
`search_index_clear()`	`\Drupal::service('search.index')->clear()`
`search_mark_for_reindex()`	`\Drupal::service('search.index')->markForReindex()`
`search_update_totals()`	Sort of replaced by `\Drupal::service('search.index')->updateWordWeights($words)` -- see notes about the ::index() function above, and the documentation on the SearchIndex interface.
`search_dirty()`	An internal function that was only used by `search_index()` and has no replacement.

When using dependency injection, you should typehint against the \Drupal\search\SearchIndexInterface interface.
