Re: [EP-tech] staff search

Hi Yuri,
I think you have found a bug.  The issue is that the search checks that the metadata_visibility for any items that might otherwise be found is set to 'show'.  An item that is an old version of another item will have its metadata_visibility set to 'hide'.  For staff search metadata_visibility should probably be ignored.  I have created a GitHub issue for this: 

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feprints3.4%2Fissues%2F299&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C9e9c546b340d4dc6409608db14b6fd6d%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638126548378918147%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=a7gL2H%2Biizx33Au3GCbsbZdEW%2BIjgGy9UqcQv%2B9NNsk%3D&reserved=0
What are other people's opinions?  In an ideal world, I guess the staff search should have a checkbox to say whether to show hidden items?

Hi!

   the admin/staff search is useful to edit items, and the only tool for
editors to find a particular eprint by id. When searching for eprintid,
it doesn't work if the eprint is a predecessor. Actually, the search
finds only the last version of the eprints and none if I put an older
version eprintid in the eprintid field. Is there a way to change this
behaviour so our staff can search and edit also older versions?
