Although I've used Low Search in the past, I now have a need to include category keywords in the results.
In the past I've used the standard category dropdown approach to refine (filter) the results to a specific category...
You can use the native category parameter to filter by category.

But the docs clearly state that category keyword searching is possible and that seems to be the whole point of having categories within the create collections, and that it can pick up keywords within category description, title, or custom field...
Low Search can also add category information to the index, making entries searchable by keywords present in their categories.

So I have a category with the title "Dog Friendly", I've included this in the collection and run a search on "dog". No results. "Dog", "friendly", "Dog Friendly" - all no results (I have tried rebuilding indexes).
If I wanted to just do a search on a specific category, I'd using the category ID from a dropdown, so is irrelevant to title, keyword, description, etc - so I'm assuming that's not what the documentation is referring to. Also not an option as I have hundreds of categories.
I've even tried adding the word "testing" to a category description, then run a search for "testing" and included a dropdown category select with the relevant category selected. Still no results.
What am I doing wrong?
