Sharepoint Search
I am trying to build a knowledge base in SharePoint. I will upload the documents in the library and then link them to the page.
When I search it only searches by the document name. Is it a way to add search words so it will still bring up the document even though its not part of the file name? I tried enterprise keywords and thought it would work but its not working.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Xeryar
per default SharePoint indexed metadata and the content from a document, so you can search for metadata like name, and also for content, into the document.
See my printscreen, builded with PnP Modern Search Web Parts, the term that i search is not used as name, but i can find the document:
For a better help to you:
- Which search technolgie do you use?
- Have you an existing search center with queries? Let me see...

Hello Xeryar
same, when i use de Microsoft Search box it will be open the Search page with results, also included in the document content:
I write in your first post, you link documents in the page, are the documents not stored in the same site?
