Sharepoint Online Document Library : Search is not working on specific fields

Hi ,

 

I have created Document Library using Content type , created indexing for the necessary fields.

When I do Sharepoint search with the value on fields (number datatype) which have indexing, no results are returned . But if I make a search with values in other fields (text) , results are returned.

 

I am not sure what is going wrong here . Has anybody faced a similar issue and what can be the possible fix for the same.

 

Thanks

    Did you try running a full re-index on the library? It's in library settings under advanced.

        vkartikWe're having the same problem.  This is happening on all of our SharePoint sites.  Documents do not become searchable for several days.  Reindixing the sites and libraries manually does nothing.  We currently have an outstanding ticket with Microsoft but they seem to have no clue.
