Search doesn't look in custom field

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing: We have a custom text field for tracking tasks. Generic search doesn’t search within the field. For example, if there is a “940” in the field, searching for “940” does not return that task as a result. Using advanced search and adding a search filter to look specifically in the custom field works.

Steps to reproduce: search for text that only appears in a custom field

Browser version: Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 on Windows 10
