Actual result

Search does not find anything altough its there

System information (as much as possible)

Happens in Joomla 4 and in 3

What exactly is your search term?

Search in username. Prefix with ID: to search for an actionlog ID. Prefix with ITEM_ID: to search for an actionlog item ID.

I just did a quick test of the above in J3 and it seemed to work ok

Rightly or wrongly that would be the expected behaviour according to the information.

Search in username. Prefix with ID: to search for an actionlog ID. Prefix with ITEM_ID: to search for an actionlog item ID.

Then I would say this issue should be closed as expected behavior or be changed to a feature request.

not an issue but a new feature... imho

[ChristineWk]

the problem is, you would first have to select from the list plus enter the desired user and that's laborious.

so it probably needs a new feature or change. but of course I don't know how.

Thanks for moving to discussions instead of closing. I actually expected the search to find titles that are displayed in the search - did not consider that its not a bug. How can the search be extended to the items?
