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.

I did try Regenerate Text Index for kb knowledge in Production and that did not work!

Hey @Dhara1 ,

 

Try this:

 

1. Open kb_knowledge table (kb_knowledge.LIST)

2. Select Text_search view and make sure that "Short Description" field is first

3. Clear the cache using "cache.do" command, and try to search again

@Ivan Betev 

short description is the first field I confirmed and cache.do also didn't work

Hello @Dhara1 ,

This is how you call the cache.do command:
