XF 1.4 Make soft deleted threads, posts and profile posts searchable

[imthebest]

Hi,

It looks like XF removes threads, posts and profile posts from the search index as soon as these contents are soft deleted. I'd like to prevent this from happening so this way soft deleted threads, posts and profile posts should be searchable. I don't care if I need to edit some core files.

Any advice please?

Thanks,

This would require custom development or an add-on (I'm not aware if there is one).

I knew about that add-on but it also adds a lot of bloat that I don't want. That's why I was asking for help to do this myself even if it requires editing core files.

Thanks anyway!
