Expected to work

Indexing

From Sitecore 8.2 Update 2 and downwards, there are some issues with indexing items in Buckets. This means that occasional rebuilds of the index may be required in order for these versions to function.

Important

From Sitecore 8.0 Update 7 and downwards, the dfs_assets_web_index update strategy has to be changed to something else, as the one used in the standard configuration does not exist in these versions. See documentation for more information
