  I have an arrangement like this:
  
  ```
  Entry type 'people'
  └ Matrix field 'offices'
    └ Block type 'office'
      └ Category field 'building'
  
  ```
  
  On the Entries screen, how can I search for `people` that have a particular `building` Category assigned within the `offices` Matrix?
  
  Note: the `offices` and `building` fields both have "Use this field’s values as search keywords" checked.

  Very simple answer: you just type the category name (no matter whether it's being set within a Matrix field).
  
  The reason this didn't work in the first place was that my search index hadn't been updated properly by the auto-running task that triggered after an XML import I did with the Feed Me plugin.
  
  I simply had to [rebuild the search indexes manually](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/searching.html#rebuilding-your-search-indexes) to fix the issue.
