I have a lookup created from a CSV file.

i put in entries
1
2
3
4
5

When i do a search, i can find these values.

now ,next day i add a new entry 6 and save the csv file.

i dont see the search showing 6, it only shows 1-5

can you help me fix this, it seems the lookup file updates are not being honored...

search query :

|inputlookup example.csv
