Unable to search content which is available in different node and given a reference to the current node. I’m using Umbraco 13.5.1 version, ExternalIndex to index the content.

Example:

{
    "id": 1
    "nodeName": "current node",
    "properties":
    { 
        "property": <-- Here added reference of other node
        ...
    }
  ...

}

Hi,

By “Here added reference of other node”, are you talking about a picker property type?
(e.g. Content Picker, Multinode tree picker etc…)

If so, then by default, only the raw value of the picker properties will be indexed into the External Index; and, in the case of Content Picker, that would simply be the Node’s UDI:

If you want to include some of the properties of the picked node in the index, then you will need to write some code to get this done.

Here’s the documentation on how to customise the Examine indexes: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/reference/searching/examine/indexing
there should be something in there that will let you do just that.
