File Content type not showing in the Search

Hi,

File Content types (pdf, image, etc…) not showing in the searches. I can see all the generic content types in search but not pdf’s and images.

I tried using content id and system title but it shows ‘No search result to display’

Any idea?

Thanks
Raj

Are you use the Fast Forward content type (rffFile) or have you created your own? I would check to see if you logged into the right community to which the content you are searching for belongs. Also, you may not have visibility because of the workflow state the content is in.

yes. I used rffFile. It’s only pdf and excel files not showing up in the search.

It sounds like you’re saying that you do get some search results from rffFile content items, but the result set doesn’t contain all the results that you expect it to.

One possibility, the content items that are not showing up in search results have never made it to the Public (publishable) state in your workflow. I believe that items aren’t added to the Lucene search index at all, until the first time they encounter a publishable state in the workflow.
