Bug #83813

No search for sys_file_metadata
0%
Description
AT TCA you can find defined search fields for the meta data of files, but you can not find files searching for meta data.
sys_file: 'searchFields' => 'name, type, mime_type, sha1'
sys_file_metadata: 'searchFields' => 'file,title,description,alternative'

Some research (current master)
File: Search/LiveSearch/LiveSearch.php
findByGlobalTableList() checks all given tables. "if no access for the table (read or write) or table is hidden, skip this table"
sys_file_metadata has the option hideTable = true and this table is skipped.
To clarify
Is this a wanted behavior for sys_tables?

I've corrected the description from

to

Yes, this is wanted behaviour. The search uses the list module to display results and that reacts to the configuration of which tables to display - if you remove the hide table from TCA those records are actually found. I'm going to close the issue now, as this is not a bug. However, if someone wants to implement an addition to the search to be able to search and display files (and metadata) in a separate view, please feel free to do so.
