# Running an Exchange Mailbox Content Indexing Job On-demand

You can run a content indexing job on-demand. You can run the job at the backup set, subclient, or mailbox level. Typically, content indexing jobs are run according to the schedule defined in the backup plan.

- You must create the Exchange archiving plan or the Exchange Journal mailbox plan with the appropriate entity types selected from the entities list. You must enable the entity detection feature in either the Exchange archiving plan or the Exchange journal mailbox plan (whichever one applies to your mailbox environment).
