Grid fields, for instance, can only use this parameter for columns with "Include in search?" enabled (For performance, EE groups those columns into a searchable blob.). You can, however, search on Grid columns by using Pro Search's [`{exp:pro_search:results}`](add-ons/pro-search/tags.md#exppro_searchresults) tag and the [Field Search filter](/add-ons/pro-search/filters.md#field-search). Pro Search can also be used to filter entries by [title](/add-ons/pro-search/filters.md#searchtitle), [url_title](/add-ons/pro-search/filters.md#searchurltitle), [status](/add-ons/pro-search/filters.md#searchstatus), and [more](/add-ons/pro-search/filters.md#field-search).
