SOSL searching picklists

SOSL does not seem to be able to search picklist fields. Is this correct?

The search() call searches most objects (including custom objects) and text fields to which you have access. It does not search the following objects and fields:

 

  • Any elements such as picklists that are defined as not searchable (searchable is false). To determine whether a given object is searchable, your application can invoke the describeSObjects() call on the object and inspect the searchable property in the DescribeSObjectResult.
  • Number, date, or checkbox fields. To search for such information, use the query() call instead.
  • Textarea fields, unless you use the ALL FIELDS search group.
  • Attachment records associated with certain objects, such as Account, Contact, or Opportunity.

You can use ALL FIELDS syntax if you want to search all sobject fields but there is nothing specific for picklist fields
