Re: [support] Views module: Searching all fields

Actually you can use the search module, and search the node using the Drupal search module to access the nodes.

I User this as an exposed filter to access allow a full text based search of the nodes.

Just to clarify Gordon's response (because it was new to me when I figured out how this worked and it took me a second).

If you enable the search module then Views has a "search index" field that you can have as a filter (including exposed filter). This then searches the drupal search index and returns items in the view based upon the search index from the search module.

It's amazing all the little features in different modules that I miss during my first (and second and third) use of them.
