I am working on a site with a simple search setup, with different weblog entries being grouped under different categories, with my search code as follows.

{exp:search:simple_form weblog="listing" id="main_search" search_in="everywhere"}
    <input type="text" name="keywords" value="" id="search"/>
    <button>Search</button>
{/exp:search:simple_form}

It is working well for searching everything except for the categories they are listed under. For example if I have a few restaurants listed under the “Food” category, but I do a search for food, only the results which have the word food listed in one of the custom weblog fields are displayed, rather than any entry which falls under the food category.

I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find how to make the categories searchable, is there something I’m missing on the admin or is it something else?

this was discussed, more or less, over here
