Issue

  • When users enable staging with Page Versioning, the content of a content page in the staging version of the site becomes unsearchable.

  • Steps to reproduce:
    (Scenario 1)
    1) Create a new site
    2) Create a page fragment with the following static content:
    <p>lorem ipsum</p>
    3) Create a public content page (page 1) from the fragment
    4) Checkpoint: Navigate to Site Builder > Pages and searching for 'page 1' or 'lorem' or 'ipsum' returns to page 1 as a hit
    5) Enable Local Live Staging for the site with default settings
    6) Navigate to Site Builder > Pages of the staging site: Search for 'lorem' or 'ipsum'
    Observed behavior: page 1 is not returned
    Expected behavior: page 1 is returned in Search Results

    (Scenario 2)
    Repeat Step 1-3 and from the Control Panel > Configuration > Search reindex all search indexes (no need for Staging)
    Search for 'lorem'
    Observed behavior: page 1 is not returned
    Expected behavior: page 1 is returned in Search Results
    Restarting DXP will result in the missing pages turning up in search.
