## 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.
