Contact List View Search by Account Name

Question

I have a customer who wants to be able to search the contact module in the list view by Account Name. I understand that they can use the filter to find what they need but I was wondering if this would work? I've tried it in a demo account but I think I'm missing something. 
 
 Because Account Name is a relate field in the contact module its not full text searchable. 
 Create a new field with a calculated value using this formula: related($accounts,"name") 
 Full text searchable 
 Reportable 
 Boost value above 1 
 Then I added this field to the list view and record view layouts. 
 It's not working. Am I missing something?

Hi Frank Cuccio , 
 
 this will do the magic :-) https://hatimalam.wordpress.com/2017/11/14/include-custom-field-in-list-view-search-sugarcrm-7-x/ 
 (If you don't have access to the file system, export the module via Studio, extract the zip, add the file and folder structure, rezipp and import via module loader. DON'T DO THIS ON PROD WITHOUT TESTING! ) 
 Please note: the " ?> " on line 10 of the code snipped looks incorrect. Please remove it
