Hello All,

 

I am trying to search a knowledge article in ServiceNow global search or in Agent workspace global search, but it is showing sys id. Please find below screenshot.

Hi Dhara,

You may try these steps:

1. Go to System Definition > Text Indexes > Locate the index related to kb_knowledge table.

2. Use the “Rebuild” option for this index

Alternatively, verify dictionary entries for fields article title, short description that they are properly indexed & searchable.
