TYPO3 Core

The backend search is not usable for normal editors (!= admins). The logic is fairly simple: It searches (same as the search box in page or list module) on page ABC including x levels for the searchword.

Problem for editors: The start page comes from (alt_shortcut.php, line 634):
-----
$GLOBALS['WEBMOUNTS']⁰
----

Therefore it is not possible to search in other branches than the first web mount.

Example page tree: ======================
Root
-- Page A
-- Page B
-- -- Page BA
-- -- Page BB
-- Page C
-- -- Page CA
-- -- Page CB
-- -- -- Page CBA ======================

If an editor has the Pages A & C as web mounts, the search can only be used to search in the branch of Page A
