Hello,

ALL FIELDS in SOSL means it is able to search in all fields of object. For more information please refer below link.

Hi Jigar,

It says all searchable fields. Can formula fields are included in searchable fields?

ALL FIELDS : Search all searchable fields. If the IN clause is unspecified, then this is the default setting.

Thanks
krishna

I think Krishna's quetions is reasonable and still not completely answers.  The "ALL FIELDS" option clearly doesn't literally mean all fields.  Formula fields, long text fields, and some other types are not searchable.  I think perhaps read wording the question to "How can a tell what fields in an object are searchable with SOSL?" helps.
