Hello,

I am a OpenKM newbie (but experienced Linux admin). I have installed the system (version 6.3.4) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. it works very well, but I have noticed that the metadata assigned to folders is not being indexed, i.e. does not appear in search results. Is that the normal behaviour? Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

It means the metadata is not shown from search view, or when you search by some metadata value you always get empty results. Some screenshot is welcome.

Hello, sorry for taking too long to reply.
I have metadata associated to folders, but when I search for any word in any metadata field, I get empty results, or results for the words in the documents inside the folder.
Please see attachments.

You have the metadata in the folder, not in the document. You should choose in the basic tab the checkbox folder otherwise will not working.
