  2. Create a Widget Page.
  3. Add a Web Content Display Widget to the Widget Page.
    1. Configure Web Content Display Widget to display the Web Content.
  4. Create a Content Page.

    1. Configure the Web Content Display Widget to display the Web Content.

Actual: Only Content Page search result description includes text from Web Content Display Widget.

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • This is a known limitation of Widget Pages. The content on them are not meant to be being indexed. Thus, search results do not include them.

Additional Information

  • Given that Widget Pages are not on the roadmap for the Product Team, opening a Feature Request wouldn't help.
