Bug #24027

Backend Search should always show result as a list and not page-view, if one result is coincidently a page id
0%
Description
When you search with the backend search for an integer, say 36, the backend search will show that page in Page-view if it exists, thus not giving me other eventual search results. What if what I was looking for was in a sys-template or something else. Yes I know you can force it to search in specific tables but that's not the point. If there's no corresponding page id, I get the results in list view.
I propose that the backend search always shows results in the list view mode and is not overruled by a page view if a search result coincides with a page id. It would be more consistent and let the user choose - and eventually find - what they're looking for. (I never look for pages ;) )

I use the search in 80% to switch to a page I only know the ID.

Yes, that's how I use the search too most often.
But in current Beta4 I get a list of results when I enter the page id. In that list there is the page with the page id I am looking for mixed up with other pages having that page as parent page (pid).
I really would like if the result that my search term as UID it is marked, so that I know that this is the page I was looking for.

It's not a bug, it's a feature (honestly ;-))
The search has been rewritten in version 4.5 and should work as you expect (not anymore as many are used to).
