Hi,
It seems that the search feature does not cover pages in the same way as it cover posts.
I could not find any feature requests and maybe I am missing an important point why it is not done, but I think this may be useful.
Thanks !
I asked about this a while ago, and people ridiculously claimed that it did indeed search pages as well. The overall forum suggested that I must be at fault or itās a problem with my installation.
Itās an oversight, but no one is acknowledging it. Itās been that way since the search feature came out.

Thatās strange because the search box helper is quite explicit.
It says āSearch posts, tags and authorsā. It does not mention āpagesā in that list and indeed it does not search in pages.

Iād love to hear ONE valid reason why searching pages poses a problem for the search tool. I really canāt believe weāre discussing this a year later with no results. +1 to common sense and site wide search.

Unless Iāve missed something another whole year has passed and weāve still not got site wide search by default. Itās bonkers!

Itās so frustrating that this is isnāt a standard default feature. Iāve just added an FAQ page to a Ghost siteā¦ but of course no one can find any of the useful information because none of is searched. Itās maddening 
Just to clarify - Ghostās built-in āsodo-searchā only searches post titles, authors, tags, and excerpts. So even if it searched pages, it wouldnāt search your individual FAQ items.

Thatās good to know, thanks. Whatās the best full text search option for Ghost?
But also, even without full text search at least if it was searching pages people could search āfaqā and find the FAQ page!
Algolia is what a lot of folks use. Small sites probably fit in the free allowance, and thereās a netlify package to load and sync content.
Alternate option if title search will be enough: build your faq in a post instead of a page. And keep it out of your post list using routes.yaml.
