Low Search not listing all Channels during collection creation
Hi Low,
I have 8 channels, 1 of which I wanted to create a low collection for. The problem is that when I go to create a collection, only SOME of my channels are listed out. The channel I need to pick is not there. This channel already has several hundred entries. Is there a requirement of field types or something I'm not aware of?
The Field Group contains
1. Asset Field
2. Text Area
3. Wygwam (this is the field I want to search)
I did try to change 3 from wygwam to a text area figuring there may have been an incompatibility with it, but that didn't seem to change things.
What silly thing did I do wrong? I'm on the latest release and re-installed.

Hey James,
There should be at least one searchable custom field assigned to the channel to show up in the Low Search module. Make sure the field is searchable in the field's details

Sigh, of course you would be smart enough to tie in the native controls. Damn you Low!
Thanks, that worked like a charm. I'd recommend you put a note in the docs for other slow people such as myself ;)

Cool, I might add said note to the docs. :)
