Hi guys, in my new website I added a search bar, to make easier to find the items:
https://insanittyfilms.editorx.io/pixelinsane/materials
Under the donate button is the search bar.
If you try to search one of those “materials” it doesn’t find any .
Any reasons why ?
Thank you
Since the page is members-only, I believe that is preventing the search from working as it can’t locate those. Members-only pages are set to no-index so that these pages don’t show on search engines which can’t be accessed by users:

I did set that option on, but still not working
It will be turned off if the page is a member-only page.
I’m confused… so how do I set it up to make it work ?
Also I tried and set the page as public, and the search still doesn’t work.
I checked the site and it seems that the page is still members-only and which makes it non-searchable.
As mentioned in the video, if you want users to search the materials but still need to sign up, you can have a list of the materials on a public page and link to a members-only page for the list of files.
Hi, like I said, when I tried to set the page public, still didn’t work
It can take some time for the page to be crawled; I was checking on my account and after publishing a few times and waiting for a few minutes, I was able to search the page.
The inverse would happen as well when the page could be searchable for a bit even if it’s members-only so it can take some time for the site to be crawled and indexed in the search results.
