Guidelines/FAQ not appearing in search results?

It’d be really nice to have the guidelines come up from the first-class search box when folks naturally want to find guidance about the site itself. For example, the phrase “well-lighted place” is a fairly unique phrase in the guidelines here, but doesn’t come up with a search:

https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=well-lighted%20place

Hi :slight_smile:

It’s because by default, the FAQ/Guidelines topic is in #staff, a restricted category.
If you move the topic to a public category, it will appear in the search for everyone.

I believe it’s also the fact that /guidelines is not a topic but a static page, hence not showing up in search results.

Yeah, but either way it seems quite useful to make sure that (and the other about pages, if there are any) are involved in search somehow.
