Low Search index doesn't contain grid fields marked as searchable.
I've just bought Low Search, and I've marked my grid fields and their children as searchable but they're not showing in the index builder, and their values aren't being inferred from those preferences. Is this a bug? I really hope so - the reason I bought Low Search was it claimed to support searching in grid fields.

Low Search's Keywords filter will treat a Grid field as a single searchable entity. As long as the field itself and (some of) its columns are searchable, you can search for Entries that have the keywords in the entire Grid field. However, you can't target specific Grid rows, as the search results (like the native channel:entries tag) will always return

Right I see! I don't need to be able to search for individual questions and answers, just the channel entry as it relates to a grid field so that's fine. Didn't realise I needed to re-save everything out, but I've done that and it's working now. Wish I'd tried that before I wrote an extension to push grid data to the index! Thanks for your response.

Glad you got it sorted!
