•Changes to the list of searchable fields in Studio Web Designer is not synched to the Search app configuration. Configuring a layer in the Studio Web Designer to be searchable using Studio Search stores the list of searchable fields in a Studio Search configuration.

Workaround: After setting the list of searchable fields as desired in the Studio Web Designer, set the search type of the layer to "Esri Search" and then back to "VertiGIS Studio Search". Please note that this will reset any configuration changes that have been in made in the Search Designer, such as the "Description Pattern" of the Search resource.
