When I search for a value, it is only able to find it in the message field. If I specify the field name using the format 'field\_name: value', it works fine. How can I solve this issue so that I can simply type the value and have it search in both the message field and other fields (all of which are mapped as text)?

Can you provide the request via Inspector? Can you also provide a screenshot of what you're seeing when you search, as well as your data view?
