Answers.Text: I feel like the search index didn't update after i saved the field config. I've just edited an entry and saved it. This seems to work and the search index got updated.
  Since i can't access `php craft resave/entries --update-search-index`on the hosting, do i need to change entries manually, save the changed entry, revert the change & save it again? Or is there a better solution?
  At least new entries seem to get indexed :)

  I've needed to to add a few fields to the search index «Use this field’s values as search keywords» after quite a few entries already have been created. Now the search index doesn't seem to get updated, even if I resave an entry manually.
  
  ```
  php craft resave/entries --update-search-index
  
  ```
  
  This command is not an option since I have limited access to the hosting...

  Do you know if the search index updated after you saved the field config with the search index option selected? It should have. Re-saving an entry only triggers a re-index if you've actually edited something within the entry, so if it behaved correctly and re-indexed after your field edit... nothing was changed and therefore no further re-index needed to happen.
  
  You could try editing a field value and saving to confirm that re-indexing is happening when it should.
