Search Index options to index text from content blocks

Can't seem to figure out how to make the sitefinity search functionality to index content inside content blocks...

Is it possible with the out-of-the-box features ?

What does "Static HTML" mean ?

I just get hits when the "searchQuery" in in the Meta Fields...

Another issue that could be brought up, is that it only hits complete words and does not do "contains", I guess this is standard Lucene behavior... :(

P.S. Searching in the forums seems to not work...

Hello Ernesto,

The purpose of the "Static HTML" option you mentioned is exactly what you want to achieve. It will index the html output on the page. Since content blocks render a div with content, this option will index the content of the content blocks on the pages, as well.
 
As for the search, since we're using Lucene as a search engine, you can perform Wildcard search, as well as fuzzy search.

Hi,
i am facing the same issue with "Search Index options to index text from content blocks"  (for sitefinity 6.0.4210.0)and i am doing below setting for resolving this issue.. 
1)first i create on simple page by using our normal template(don't containing any complicated structure)
2)taken content block on the same, edited that, and put text "Myhomepage" on that. put this keyword in keyword section(titles and property )
3)Advaced setting for the same.(snapshotattched).
4)reindexed my search index.
after all it should search "Myhomepage" keyword but it's throwing error below:

exception:
Sequence contains no matching element
could you please suggest me correct way for the same as its on high priority?

Anyone ?

Hello Neha,

The settings you have already done are correct. In addition you need to add also 'Keywords' in the advanced settings of your Search index. To do so you need to go on:
Administration > Search Indexes > <your search index> > Advances section, add 'Keywords'.

Hi Svetoslav ,

thanks a lot for your response. let me try this hope it should work.
is it correct way to put each and every keyword to "titles and property section" ?
as i had done in second step of my post i.e.
2)taken content block on the same, edited that, and put text
"Myhomepage" on that. put this keyword in keyword section(titles and
property )  as it can be hectic work to putting all bundles of keywords all of my website.

is it feasible way to do the same for searching the content of content block?

thanks in advance!

Hello,

You need to put a keywords of each page that you want to be indexed (and re-index after each newly added indexes on it).

When content block (news, events, etc) need to be indexed - their main page should be defined in the Search index.

More information about the Search index could be found in the Sitefinity documentation.
