Search for fields other than title in Sitefinity backend dynamic module search

In sitefinity version 8.2 there was an option to search within dynamic module items by full name in the backend. But it is not giving any result after my upgrade to 12.2. Is this feature still available or should I need to enable it anywhere in the settings? I couldn't find any documentation related to that. The search is working only for the title. Our application was in Sitefinity 8 and recently upgraded to 12.2. Need some help with this.

Solution

  • Unfortunately the new backend UI (AdminApp) searches only by Title field.

    A few workarounds are offered here:

    The easiest of which is switching back to the classic (old) UI.
