Hi DaveMehr365

thank you very much for your response.

As additional information: at the moment our Query Text looks like that: {searchTerms} * ContentType:Phonebook
We created a new content type with some columns ( like Email, Phone numer, firstname, Building,... ). All of them should be searchable with the search text.

I added your suggestion and it works for the "Title" (Lastname) but how it's possible to search then for all other columns?

Hope you can point me to that.

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Dominik
