#Worth knowing

  • The global page depends on a search index that is only written by attachment triggers on a licensed site, with no backfill and no scheduled reindex, so pre-install files and files added while unlicensed never appear there.

  • Project keys are inserted into the global page's search query unquoted, so a key that needs quoting breaks the query.

How it actually behaves.
