| Feb 27, 2015 at 14:41 | comment | added | Matt Ludwig | how would I get started with this process? | |
| Feb 27, 2015 at 14:33 | comment | added | Francoise Becker | Not only lookup fields, but apparently not text fields, by default. Crawled: Just another way of saying they get indexed by the search engine. | |
| Feb 27, 2015 at 4:29 | comment | added | Matt Ludwig | so your saying that only lookup fields can be searched? AND what do you mean fields can get "crawled"? thank you | |
| Feb 27, 2015 at 4:28 | comment | added | Matt Ludwig | it has been more then 24 hours. | |
| Feb 26, 2015 at 22:56 | comment | added | Francoise Becker | I haven't found a definitive source for this, but based on experimentation, it looks like text fields (single line or multi-line) don't get crawled unless they've been defined at the server level as managed metadata (which Title and Name fields are by default). However, I've found that Lookup fields do seem to get crawled and indexed, so if the field you are interested in is amenable to being turned into a Lookup field, that might be a solution. I hope someone more knowledgeable than I will confirm or refute. | |

| Feb 26, 2015 at 22:09 | comment | added | Francoise Becker | How long ago was the record added? It may not have had time to be indexed? | |
| Feb 26, 2015 at 21:28 | comment | added | Matt Ludwig | "Yes" was already chosen for Allow items from this list to appear in search results? but it still didn't work. | |
