Search downtime when running scout:import with Algolia

Scout Driver

Algolia

Laravel Version

PHP Version

8.2.7

Description

I'm encountering a problem when executing php php artisan scout:import "App\Models\Product": it causes a downtime in my search services due to the clearing of all product records in the Algolia index. Is there a method to reimport these products in a way that overwrites the existing ones, instead of clearing the index?

I attempted to update products individually with a custom command, but this method was too slow and eventually hit Algolia's limits on individual updates.

Steps To Reproduce

Running php artisan scout:import "App\Models\Product"
