Description

In a new instance of branch 30, when I go to the admin pages, there is an error " Search index failure -
Please proceed to rebuild Index. If you have shell (SSH) access, you can also use the following, on the command line, from the root of your Tiki installation: php console.php index:rebuild MySql Search index table not found."

In my opinion this is not a good first impression of Tiki's admin pages. The new admin probably thinks something like "What, there's a search index failure already? I just created this site!"

I understand that this may be a general-use message that is appropriate in some circumstances but, if possible, either remove it from displaying in a brand-new site, or change the wording to indicate that there isn't an error really, but the search index should be rebuilt (or "built", at this stage?).
