ESC Search Issue – KB Article Searchable by KB Number but Not by Short Description or Meta Keywords

Hi Team,

I am facing an issue with Knowledge Article search in Employee Service Center (ESC) for a user whose language is set to Chinese.

Scenario:

  • The user belongs to China and their preferred language is Chinese.
  • When I impersonate the user, the ESC interface automatically switches to Chinese.
  • The user is able to find the Knowledge Article when searching by the KB Number (for example, KB0012345).
  • However, when searching using the article's Short Description or keywords defined in the article's Meta tags/Meta description, the article does not appear in the search results.

Questions:

  1. What could cause a Knowledge Article to be searchable by KB Number but not by Short Description or Meta Keywords in ESC?
  2. Are there any language-specific indexing or search configuration considerations for Chinese content?
  3. What troubleshooting steps should be performed to identify the root cause?
  4. Should we verify search source configurations, AI Search settings, Zing indexing, translated article records, or language-specific indexing behavior?

Troubleshooting performed so far:

  • Verified that the user has access to the Knowledge Article.
  • Confirmed that the article is retrievable by KB Number.
  • Confirmed that the user's language is automatically set to Chinese during impersonation.
  • Issue occurs when searching using Short Description and Meta Keywords.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can suggest additional troubleshooting steps?

Thank you.
