A company is rolling out Backstage and wants developers to be able to find all services owned by their team, including those that are not yet documented. They also want the service list to reflect changes automatically when new services are added to their infrastructure. What should they configure?

Create a custom search index that scans all repositories for service definitions.

Register all services in the Software Catalog using location annotations and let the catalog processor discover them.

Use TechDocs to document each service and rely on the documentation index for discovery.

Manually add each service to the catalog via the Backstage admin UI.

A Backstage administrator notices that search results for catalog entities are not showing up, even though the entities exist and are visible in the catalog UI. They also want to ensure that TechDocs content is searchable. What should they check first?

Check that the catalog entities have the correct 'kind' annotation.

Ensure that TechDocs is enabled for each entity.

Rebuild the Backstage frontend to refresh the search index.

Verify that the search index is configured to include catalog entities and TechDocs, and that indexing is running.
