Search - not searching replies / solutions of tickets

When I do a search the search will only search the contents of the initial problem. It will not search the contents of the solution to that ticket.

eg. client says I have problem X.
Support agent communicates back and forth, actual issue seems to be Problem Y. He then solves it by Solution Z. (this is a specific solution, so it does not warrant a solution page)

When a few months later the agent tries to recall how he solved something he will try a few keywords relating to Solution Z. However the search has only Indexed Problem X. So no results are displayed and the knowledge is gone. 

see example attached.

Basically every part of the ticket should be indexed so that you can easily search through Freshdesk for the solution.response_11252.png

currently (Feb 2014) this seems to also show the notes, but maybe a nice addition to this would be to be able to filter the search results with some operators, like we can in Google Mail:

  • tickettype:bug or tickettype:feature
  • in:notes or in:request
  • from:<email address> or by:agent for any agent
  • is:private or is:public
This would help a lot in getting the results you need quickly without the possible hassle of getting into the incorrect tickets. In GMail we would be very fast in finding old solutions (solution Z as mentioned above), like using a search query like
"Solution Z" AND from:support@ourcompany.com

Hello, 


We are currently working on improving a search. We will keep you updated with the progress.


Thank you


Any news on this one? We are also looking for an advanced search feature. Our agents need to search for keywords in notes and want to search for all tickets where they added a note.

@Kay: The keyword search looks for the specific text in all notes/replies in the tickets . You can also use < > operators to scrutinise the search in case if you're looking for a phrase.


Cheers!

I have tried to search keywords in the search bar, but it does not seem to work when I am looking for phrases in the notes.  Please confirm this works.  Can others get this to work?

I would like to know how to find search string inside note added to contact?


For now the global search does not find words there:
