Thanks. I have done several tests with the following two variants: After each change I ran ddev restart, cleared the Contao cache in the Contao manager and checked if the backend search works (also let it run 3-5 minutes and refreshed the backend).

* * * * * php contao-console contao:cron : The backend search does not work with this short variant and the database cron table is not updated every minute.

* * * * * php /var/www/html/vendor/bin/contao-console contao:cron : This variant works in my tests.
