joomla backend search feature that searches all contents (articles, links, posts..)

this question has been asked in 2010 (Does joomla have search for content?), but without success. Any update since?

I'm trying to find a search feature that searches all contents, including articles, links, posts, etc. in Joomla. Where is it located?

I am talking about search feature in administration page, not home page. I want to be able to figure out where the content is coming from and its location.

ps: the "smart search content" plugin included in the core of joomla is very limited in backend: it only search in articles title, and worst, it skips some articles in front-end yet plugin enable, indexer done, all publish inside indexer.

Solution

  • backup solution :

    set a "smart search module" in the frontend (for register user so it won't bother) it will retrieve any content field from the DB
