What does 「問題」とはいえないことにも気づいていない mean?


> それなのに、解決策がどこかにないだろうか、と②「検索」する。検索で解決するようなものだったら、 **「問題」とはいえないことにも気づいていない。**

"問題とはいえないこと" means something that can not be called issue; ことにも気づいていない means
being unaware of something;

but when you put them together,I will be very weird and unintelligible in the
context. how to understand this sentence?




This こと is not "something" but a nominalizer ([What is the difference between
the nominalizers こと and の?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1395/5010)).
And the こと nominalizes everything before it in the sentence. Don't be deceived
by a comma in a relative clause.

> [検索で解決するようなものだったら、「問題」とはいえない] **こと** にも気づいていない。

> They haven't even noticed **(the fact) that** [you cannot call it a
> "problem" if it's something that resolves with a search].

In other words, the author is saying that a true "problem" refers to something
that cannot be solved by an internet search.
