Not able to search by inventory number

[zsofiaj]

In our Italian Paintings publication, we are not able to search by inventory number. For example, for this object, if I search the site for 1871.6, the inv. no., there are no results and the screen just stays blank. It does not say anything like "no results." @Erin-Cecele could this be a bug? It is really important for most of our projects to be able to search by inv. no. Thank you!!

Another (unrelated) issue with the search is that the italics are not setting properly, as seen in the screenshot below.

Hi @zsofia, This is similar to a question asked by @salger1 and @mgray4. They noted that their search was not pulling in tombstone information. This is because search is not including object.yaml information. We are testing out a possible workaround for this. Stay tuned.

Thanks so much, @Erin-Cecele . Any ideas for a workaround would be greatly appreciated. It seems pretty important to be able to search the data in the objects.yaml file since readers are likely to search by accession number, especially since we don't have catalogue numbers visible to readers.

Would tombstone data show up in the search if I had placed object data directly in the page YAML, rather than keeping it all in the objects.yaml file? I'm hoping I won't need to make this change for our Italian Paintings book at this late stage, but if this would solve the search problem, I'll definitely go this route for our Indonesian Textiles publication.

I believe Quire won't search anything in the YAML format regardless of whether it's on the entry Markdown page or in a .yaml file, but @geealbers could provide more accurate information.
