Search issue in Sharepoint'2013 List Library.

Hello Friends, I am facing a search issue with SP'13 list. In the search item box (list level), it cannot detect the item within the list; but in the 'search in the entire site box', it can detect the item within the list. Though on clicking on the item from the site search results, take me back to the list rather going inside the item. And the worst is it is not detecting any item from List level search.

FYI, The item name is having '-'. So after reading some blogs, I tried to exclude the 'hyphen' from the item name, but nothing worked. Checked with all the settings. Still in dark :(

Please help.

Hi vicdas,

According to your description, you cannot detect the list item with the search box.

Could you please check if the Allow items form this list to appear in search results in the Search section on Advanced Settings page has been set to Yes.

If not, please set it to Yes. It allows the list contents display on search result page. Then you need to click Reindex list on Advanced Settings page and start a full crawl.

If it has been set to yes, could you provide a screenshot of the search results when using the Search in the entire site box for further research?

Best regards,

Linda Zhang
