Search indexing

I am having some difficulties with NING 3 search indexing. I havent had any luck with Google-ing this issue, so hope that you guys can help me.

I added a couple of new profile questions to my site. Neither of the questions are designated as 'private'. I added a multiple choice question (an organizational 'Role' question with three possible responses) and a long text question (a Bio).

I added several users from my own organization, and they have completed the profiles.

When I search based on the resposes that have been chosen from the multiple choice question, the Nings earch does not return a result. The same thing happens when I try to search for longer recognizable words from users' long text responses.

Here is my question: is there a way to optimize how Ning indexes profiles (and other type of content)? Or is this behavior expected, and profiles will never be full indexed?

 

Thanks and best regards,
David

  • Hi there!

    The answers to the profile questions are not getting indexed by the system, only the location is.

    Apologies for any inconveniences.

    Best regards,

    Ning team.
