When I search for the keyword 'I170911_009', it comes out empty.
When I search for the same value in the column directly, it returns a record (as expected).
So how do I modify the keywords to search through the vendor_ticket column? I need this for when searching in the global search.

I found it. It seems I needed to click 'Generate Text Index' on the collection dictionary for the table. When I navigate to the table record, the indexes were there, and the check box 'Text index' was set correctly, but despite all that, ServiceNow did not generate the text indexes when I moved the table in between environments... After generating the text index, the search shows the expected results.

Hi,
As another user mentioned...are you typing literally "Keyword" in the text search box in your first example?
If you type it in the respective column, it'll search for "starts by" 'x'....
But if you search within your first screenshot, leave it as text, then put in ONLY the number that you listed, it would pull up that way too.

Ah, ok, haha.
So, yea, I just tested in mine for using a Keyword 280 ...just to see if it would pull any Incident number that had 280 in it (sort of like the 'text' search feature) and it didn't work. I get that you need to define a different column and then go from there, and I don't search this way anyway, so it's not an issue for me.
It appears you have to define what is in 'collection' for keywords to work from.
Go to dictionary > table > Look for a collection entry and ensure it's set to true

Could you provide me with a screenshot, as I don't understand what you mean.
Afaik, Collection Dictionary Entries, are just dictionary entries for tables. So how would I define the keywords by using the collections?
