    Hi All!

    Hope everyone is doing well! Just a quick question regarding BackOffice search in Umbraco 8: How to add custom properties in umbraco search functionality in members section?

    Hi Kiran

    You need to add custom fields to Examine index, check out this doc - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Searching/Examine/indexing/

    THanks,

    Hey Alex,

    I'm late to the party for this, but I've done that for the MemberIndexer. So all custom fields are now correctly pulling into the index, I can use the searcher to confirm this is the case.

    However, the BackOffice search on the members sections doesn't appear to be using this from what I can see? Not sure if using 8.16.0 changes this.

    ie, if i've modified the Member List to show a custom property, attempting to search for values within that always returns empty. Doing the same search on the index itself returns as expected.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Ryan,

    Don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but on the off chance you are (or someone else finds this) the members list search very helpfully doesn't use the contents of the indexer for its search feature. You instead need to craft your own custom controller, intercept the API call in the browser, then fire it off to the custom controller - see https://dev.to/skttl/how-to-customize-searching-in-umbraco-list-views-1knk
