Could it be because you are hard-setting `section: 'inventions',` in your `params`?

@Oli I would expect that results would show since entries have relationships to the investigators and in this case I want to show results where the investigators field in the inventions channel has the correct person.

Oh, I see, I thought you wanted entries from another section. Can you try to re-index your entries just to make sure `./craft resave/entries --update-search-index`.

I tried that before posting this and it didn't work. @oli should I send an email directly to support?

Front End Search Related Entries
# Front End Search Related Entries

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-11-06)

I have a front end search which is working fine when searching titles, however when searching for text in rich text fields, or an input field caseNumber or the title of a related entry there are zero results.
The search form has an input field where copy from the entries body or the name of the investigator (related entry) can be searched. There is also a select field that is used for categories to filter.
How to get results from the related entries to display?
Below is my simplified template code.
  
    


      {% set params = {
        section: 'inventions',
        limit: 10
      } %}

      {% if searchQueryKeywords !="" and searchQueryKeywords != null and searchQueryKeywords !="null" %}
{% set params = params | merge({
          search:'title:' ~ searchQueryKeywords ~ ' OR summary:' ~ searchQueryKeywords ~ ' OR applications:' ~ searchQueryKeywords ~ ' OR investigators:' ~ searchQueryKeywords ~ ' OR caseNumber:' ~ searchQueryKeywords,  })
        %}
      {% endif %}

      {#
      // get related category
      #}
      {% if searchCategory != null and searchCategory !="" %}
        {% set searchQueryCategory = craft.categories.group('researchAreas').slug(searchCategory).one() %}
      {% endif %}

      {% if searchQueryCategory is defined %}
        {% set params = params | merge ({
          relatedTo: [
            'and',
            { targetElement: searchQueryCategory }
          ]
        }) %}
      {% endif %}


      {# set the entries with all the search/fitering params #}
          {% set entries = craft.entries(params) %}

      {% paginate entries as pageInfo, pageEntries %}

      
        Search Results

                {{ seomatic.helper.truncateOnWord(summary, 250) }}
              
            

            
              
                Investigators

Make sure that you checked *Use this field’s values as search keywords* under Settings → Fields → **Your field**

With that in place, run `./craft resave/entries --update-search-index` ([docs](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/console-commands.html#resave-entries)) and your entries should start showing up in your search results.
