I'm wondering if it's because of the table being flagged as a SYSTEM table or the fact that I have 11 000 record in there

it's possible. you can try to "touch" all your user nodes with a script similar to this: https://github.com/graphcool-examples/scripts/tree/master/touch-nodes it should force a resync to Algolia if the index is setup

Got it ! Thanks for sharing the script very handy
