textselect field and Joomla standard search

I am trying to use the Joomla standard search to look for words entered within the (textselect) field type but it shows no results. The search works for other text field types (text) and (textarea).

Is there a way to get this to work?

Thanks.

mmm, you do not mention which revision you have

also for textselect you will need to :
- have r1600+
- (check that field is advanced searchable) and click to -rebuild advanced index- (just once)

CHOICE 1:

FOR STANDARD joomla search with FLEXIcontent standard search plugin:
-- current plugin will not use it because it looks for type "text", but "textselect" can be used too,

Replace 2 occurrences in flexisearch.php plugin file of: with
and test

This will be in next public release

CHOICE 2:
FOR STANDARD joomla search with FLEXIcontent advanced search plugin:
-- Also you could disable FLEXIcontent standard plugin, enable advanced search plugin, and mark desired fields as advanced searchable and rebuild Advanced-Index one and then visit Joomla standard search view

Regards

Thank you. Choice 1 works perfectly

FLEXIcontent is a free component which includes a really big amount of work on our part, please consider leaving a positive review at JED if you have not done already
