Admin settings search failing to find some obvious hits

Admin settings search failing to find some obvious hits

Hello,

I was searching for "Protect" using the admin search (Moodle 3.11, also my MoodleCloud 4.1.*) and noticed the search failed to list the "Manage blocks" page  (/admin/blocks.php), even though one of the column headings features the setting "Protect instances". I then searched for "instances" and also did not see the Manage blocks page on the list of hits.

This looks like a bug to me? Or are column headings (any other fields?) deliberately filtered out from admin searches?

Kind regards,

Przemek

Hi Przemek,

I assume this is because that bit of a page isn't part of the Admin search area. Settings names, shortnames and descriptions appear to be searchable, but not headers in the Manage [insert plugin category] table.
