Low Search is not searching matrix columns.

JesseKnowles 26 Jun 2017 23:17 problem, complete

Searching columns of a matrix field don't find results, when they should. Am I doing something wrong?

{exp:low_search:results query="{freebie_2}" keywords:mode="exact" site="{embed:site_id}" collection="{embed:collection_id}" limit="10" status="open" disable="categories|member_data"}

I have EE 2.11.7, Low Search 4.4.5 and Matrix 2.5.10.

Any ideas?

    The Matrix columns themselves should be marked as searchable. And if they weren't searchable before, you need to re-save each entry so it populates the right database columns.

    Then, the Matrix field itself should have a weight >= 1 in the collection settings.

    They weren't searchable before. The problem is I have hundreds of entries, so saving them all independently would be insane. Is there any way to automate that process?
