Adding fields to Global Search

I am trying to add “Item>>Description” to the Global seach. I have used “customize form” and checked the box for Global Search under “Description”. Also in “Global Search Settings” I can confirm that “Items” is listed. When I search for a term I know is in an Item description it does not return a result

Where are you searching? Global search is not for the awesome bar, it’s for the related link fields, like adding an item to an invoice should now allow you to use strings in the item description.

EDIT: I’m incorrect. I never realized the global search can be used in the awesome bar. Perhaps you just need to clear browser cache @mioduz.

Hi @mioduz:

Go to Global Search Settings (use awesome bar) :slight_smile:
Check if your doctype is there … if not, add it.

Hope this helps.

I have searched from multiple and cleared cache with no results.

An item in the database has “VFD” in the description field

Searching for “VFD”, and “VFD in Items” both returns nothing

Yes the “Item” doctype is #3 on the list

anyone else experiencing this?
