Search wiki content
Search wiki content
I created a wiki library on my Sharepoint page. I am trying to search the content by using the search box at the top of the page, with the drop-down set at the "wiki library", and also at the "wiki pages" level. My search returns no results (using words I know are there). I've been trying to find help via different forums, but haven't been succesful. One post referenced the fact that wiki content is stored in the properties instead of a document like normal doc libraries. Would this be preventing my search from working? If so, what is the way around it? In short, how do you set up a search for wiki content?

- I can get the results if I use search scope like "This site:wiki" or "All Sites" instead of "This List:wiki pages".

- Had a similar issue at a client just today. Go to Site Actions > Site Settings and then click on Search Visibility. Make sure you specify to index content in the site. In our case it was set to No. Also, after you save the change go back in and make sure the change worked. In our case it didn't and we had to go to the parent site and set the search visibility there before we were able to get the change to stick on the original site.
Once you make that change you'll need to reindex and it should work. Let me know how it works out for you.
