Search plugin finds only one of many fields

I installed the Search plugin to integrate Fabrik Elements into Joomla search.
I activated the relevant lists (Publish / Search).

I selected a bunch of fields to search.

The Indexing Button in Joomla Serach Index completes without error.
However when I search for existing data I only get results in two lists and each of which in only one field (city).
All other searches result in 0 hits.
The joomla search log doesn't show an error.
How could I narrow down, the culprit?

With "Indexing Button" you are referring to Joomla's "Smart search"?

I assume Fabrik is still linking to the "old" Joomla search.
 
Sorry had to switch to English to be able to confirm that I click on Components/Smart Search/Index Button.
(Smart is missing in German :))
Tested a bit more and it seems as if phone numbers are not found at all.
E-Mails show a wrong hit which doesn't contain the searched email.
Names are not found.
All the searches work fine using the search provided by a list filter.

So is the Fabrik Search Plugin not considered usable anymore?
 
I think you'll get the Fabrik list data only if you use the old Joomla "Search" (module or menu, com_search), not "Smart search" (com_finder).
You may get some data if you have lists included via content plugin (so the indexer is fetching the article with the list data displayed in this article).

In German the old one is "Suche", the new one "Suchindex".

BTW:
I had a lot of trouble with German and the SmartSearch. It seems to get single words only, so missing a lot of typical German combined words like Seeuferweg, Holzkohle
(searching for kohle won't find holzkohle etc)
There are a lot of discussions in Joomla forums.
So I don't use the SmartSearch.

Thanks for the clarification.
Wasn’t aware of the difference.
Unfortunately I used menu com_search already by chance.
Tried com_finder and it really didn‘t find anything.
