Occasionally, you will search for a term within Dataverse Search and the search results page will say a specific search term hasn't been found in a list of Tables within Engage. This means that the particular field or column is not currently searchable through Dataverse Search, but this can be updated to be searchable by your System Administrator. 

Update Searchable Columns

As a System Administrator, you can use Power Apps to adjust your Org to make a column searchable. As a reminder, in Engage, a field on a record is considered a column in the Entity (table) within the database.

In this example, we will enable the column of Mobile Phone on the Contact Entity to be searchable.

   1. Access Power Apps within your Microsoft App Launcher

   2. Select the desired Environment and select Solutions.

   3. Select a Solution to edit or create a new solution. Always use a custom unmanaged solution to apply your changes. 

   4. Search for and select the Table (Entity) that the column (field) needs to be adjusted for. In this example, the Table is for the Contact Entity.

   5. Navigate to Columns, then find and select the Column (field) to add and click Edit. In this example, we selected the Column for Mobile Phone.

   6. Check the Searchable box and Save.

   7. Click Publish all customizations. 

The column is now searchable using the Dataverse Search.
