I implemented finsweet CMS search in a webflow site. The issue that I am facing now is that the search is happening only in the items of the current page and not in all the pages of that CMS list.

Can someone help with this issue? Can this be fixed?
If your Collection Lists are located on different pages, you cannot use Finsweet Search to search all of them at the same time. The reason is: Finsweet Search and other CMS Attributes (like cmscombine) work only client-side – meaning they only operate on the currently loaded page.
Finsweet Search can only search Collection Items that are visible on the current page, because it has no access to CMS content on other pages.
You could combine all lists onto a single “search page” and move all relevant CMS Collection Lists to to this central page (e.g. a search or archive page) or an external solution like “Algolia” oder “Jetboost”.
Hey @gopal_aparna!
What @j.m.schmidtks mentioned is mostly spot on — just a small clarification!
List Filter only filters the items that are directly rendered on the page if used on its own.
However, if you add fs-list-load="more" to the collection list, it will load all items in the background, allowing the filter to apply to the entire collection.
Let me know if you give this a try and if you run into any other issues!
