Search block only finds page titles

I added a search block to the footer of our website.   Only titles appear to be searchable.  For example,  if I enter the name "Zahavi, " nothing comes up. The name "Zahavi" appears on may pages but the search doesn't find it.

Is there a way to force terms to be included in the index so that the search block will find them?

It says that text blocks are indexed.  What does that mean?  Clearly words in text blocks aren't indexed (at least for me).

Thank you for any help with this.

Where can i find the search block to check? I can not find it in your home page

Thank you to everyone who answered this query.  I heard from Squarespace who tells me this is a known bug.  They aren't sure when it will be fixed.  I pulled the search box for now.

What is the status of this SEARCH bug? Last post was June 15 --  5 months later. What's up? Thanks!

While I can't tell you what Squarespace is up to internally, we developed a search plugin just for this use case: https://monocle-search.com/. It finds all content on your site and can be adjusted in various ways to fit your use case exactly. You can install it in minutes, no credit card required. Give it a spin!

We only released an update today that allows for simply using the Squarespace search bar with it as well. So just install it, put the search bar where you want it and make sure that "Quick Preview" is set to off. Full guide can be found here: https://monocle-search.com/guide

Any questions, just let me know! Good luck :)
