# Indexing settings

This section allows you to configure how content is indexed for Examine.

```json
"Umbraco": {
  "CMS": {
    "Indexing": {
      "ExplicitlyIndexEachNestedProperty": true
    }
  }
}
```

## ExplicitlyIndexEachNestedProperty

When indexing content, each property contained within certain complex editors are indexed as separate fields by default. These complex editors include:

* Block List
* Block Grid

The complex editors are also indexed to their own separate fields, which then contains "the sum" of all properties contained within.

In some cases this yields a lot of fields in the index, which can lead to errors when performing searches. Changing this setting to `false` can mend that issue. It prevents each contained property from being written to the index in its own field.
