I have made an index on the indexer( in /splunk/etc/local/indexes.conf) but I am not able to see it in my search head while searching. Can you tell me why is this happening?

Q1) I am setting up a test environment for splunk. I have made an index on indexer from backend but when I am searching it from the Search head I am not able to see anything. The search returns 0 events.

Q2) I have made an index from UI in the search head, I am not able to see it form the backend neither in search head nor in indexer. Can you please help me by telling the most probable error that I could have made?

Thank you.

Did you check "Indexes searched by default" in Access controls->Roles after you created new index?

Yes, I have checked the indexes through UI in both Search Head and the Indexer. I am not able to see them in the list of indexes in UI, "settings-->indexes".
