Searchable Custom Fields in Low Search

TR Douglas 17 Dec 2012 16:36 question, complete

I just purchased Low Search and want to make sure I set it up correctly. When I create a new collection and add weights to fields, the docs say:

"Once you select a Channel, you’ll see the fields assigned to that channel below. This will always be the title and the searchable custom fields."

So I am only seeing two fields: the title and one custom field called "blurb" (a textarea). But my channel has another custom field called "body_text" (also a textarea) that I would have expected to appear in the list.

Am I doing this correctly or have I missed something?

    "searchable custom fields" is the key here. Make sure the field is searchable in the field's native settings.

    Ahh, I missed that setting when I created the field. Now I see how that works... thank you!
