Search a certain column in a list

Copper Contributor

I have a column in a List called WorksheetID.  it's a text column.

When I use the search box, when viewing the list, and enter a valid WorksheetID, I don't get any search results.

There must be a way to make something happen...can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi @AdminEckler,

The column WorksheetID is probably not "Searchable".

In this scenarios you should search something like this:

WorksheetID: <value to search>

If you don't want to put the WorksheetID property in the search box, you should go to the search shema, and set the WorksheetID  Managed Property  has searchable

If you want to directly search by the column value, you need to create a manged property for that column. See this: https://joannecklein.com/2019/02/08/crawled-managed-properties-and-modern-team-sites/
