Can you screenshot it?

Advanced options are hidden look for that message near the footer.

I don’t understand. The search result is surely a link. It should link directly to the section of acp which it is finding in the search result, not to some other place with a tiny bit of text telling you about advanced options you need to telepathically know to click on first.

How are people supposed to know it isn’t really a link to the item searched for? Seems like a bug to me.

You might want to enable advanced options

A bit of an oversight. We've actually adjusted the behavior a few months ago so that advanced options will automatically display when they are linked to directly (eg. from search results) which will land in v2.2.9.

That's a good solution. Show them if searched but keep hidden in browse unless you opt to show all.

Thanks Jeremy

I still think it was a bug though.
