Search lookup using a picklist value doesn't work
Hi all,
we would like to be able to also search for a certain picklist value in a lookup and get results of the object records in Lightning.
According to Lightning you can configure the search results with usable fields as documented here:
https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=search_fields_lex.htm&type=5
I could configure the search results for Account using Phone as the secondary field and when I make my search on the Account using a phone number I get the corresponding result. But when I take a picklist field as secondary and then try my search using a picklist value, this doesn't work.
So, does anybody know if there is a workaround for this? how can a lookup be searchable using a picklist value?

Greetings to you!
Not all object and fields are searchable in lightning experience. There is a table in that doc to determine which records you can find with Salesforce search.
Also, it is an idea to allow Pick-list value to show in Lightning Lookup search:
