<p>I'm assuming you're on MySQL for the database. The <code>searchindex</code> table uses the MyISAM storage engine by default and <code>example</code> happens to be of the default MySQL MyISAM stopwords: <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-stopwords.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-stopwords.html</a> (see "Stopwords for MyISAM Search Indexes"), which it will skip.</p>

<p>In the CraftCMS admin page at <code>/admin/entries/</code>, there is a search bar at the top:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/xKZfu.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/xKZfu.png" alt="Search bar in CMS"></a></p>

<p>This search bar appears to only search the <code>Body</code> field of Entries.</p>

<p><strong>Is it possible to make this search bar match against the <code>Title</code> field too?</strong></p>

<p>Eg. I have an Entry titled "Example Entry" with a body of "Testing 1 2 3". If I search for "Testing", my Entry will show in the search results. If I search for "Example", my Entry will not show. I would like my Entry to show for the search term "Example"</p>

In the CraftCMS admin page at `/admin/entries/`, there is a search bar at the top:

[![Search bar in CMS](https://i.sstatic.net/xKZfu.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/xKZfu.png)

This search bar appears to only search the `Body` field of Entries.

**Is it possible to make this search bar match against the `Title` field too?**

Eg. I have an Entry titled "Example Entry" with a body of "Testing 1 2 3". If I search for "Testing", my Entry will show in the search results. If I search for "Example", my Entry will not show. I would like my Entry to show for the search term "Example"
