Sharepoint list search not working

I have a problem when trying to search in a list. The search will return no results. This problem occurs only on some columns in the same list.

I have another list and the search work fine on all columns.

Hi Glenn Galea,

According to your description, when you searched some columns, you got no results.

I wonder if you have modified these columns without a search crawl after. Every time when we modify the data, we should start a search crawl. Then we could search for them. So, please do a full crawl for your content source. After crawling, search again, compare the result.

You also could create crawl schedule to make it automatic:

If you have done all the things, you still have the problem. Please check Site Action Site SettingsSite AdministrationSearchable columns(activate the publishing feature before this and make sure these columns are site columns) to check if the columns are selected.

Hope it will be helpful to you.
