Hi @NikhilKumaK 

I doubt there could be an indexing issue, but give this a try anyway

 

 

Resolution

To resolve this issue, reindex the sc_cat_item table—or the sys_metadata table if more broadly affected.

This can be safely done using real-time indexing, which allows records to be reindexed without impacting existing search results.

 Important: Reindexing the sc_cat_item_content search source will remove deactivated items from search results on the ESC portal.


Recommended Steps

  1. Identify if the indexing issue is limited to sc_cat_item or affects related metadata tables.
  2. Perform a real-time reindex using the documented method below.
  3. Confirm that catalog items now appear in portal search.

Things to check

1) did you add some keywords in the Meta field in catalog item

2) ensure "No Search" is unchecked for your item

3) Any user criteria is blocking the catalog item?
