Issue

  • Object entries are not visible in Search results

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • When you create an Object Definition, you get to choose whether its scope is Company or Site (you cannot change it once you publish the Object Definition).
  • By default, when you create a search page with the Search Results and Search Bar widgets, only site scoped entries will be displayed.
  • If you want your Company scoped object entries to be returned in the search results, you have to change the Search Bar widget's settings so as to set the scope to Everything.
