    Hi,

    It doesn’t seem like ajaxSearch is able to find text that is generated from snippet output. Is there a way to change this?

      Unfortunatenaly not. AjaxSearch do the search in tables and can’t work on dynamic content, generated by an another snippet.
      And I haven’t thought about that.

        You’d need a search engine more akin to what Google offers in order to do this. Lucene, htdig and others provide this type of functionality. AjaxSearch searches for existing (not dynamic) content in the content and TVs.
