}The problems seem to happen mostly with some blocks in the pages, they're not having the text within them be found when that text gets searched.
This isnt happening on every block, only some.

Hi QRiley327,
Are all your blocks actually indexed? Have you read the documentation about indexing blocks in contentarea: https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/search-navigation/Integration/cms-integration/Indexing-content-in-a-content-area/
So have you checked what kind of implementation you have for your blocks in the solution? Perhaps you just have not enabled indexing for some blocks (also possible to switch on and off per instance if you have that property on the block type which an editor then can toggle on and off).

This topic was created over six months ago and has been resolved. If you have a similar question, please create a new topic and refer to this one.
Hello,
We are having problems with search where there is content with the searched phrase, but its not showing it. Has anyone experienced this before and have any idea of what could be happening? It seems like content in blocks on the page are having the issue but there are many blocks that do appear on a search. Could the way we render some blocks be preventing content in that block from showing in the results?
Has anyone else experienced this?
