also excludes results when searching in admin for pages/posts

    found when id’s are entered in Exclude some post or page IDs: it also excludes pages/posts from the admin search. i fixed this by changing a couple of lines in search-everything.php

    line 188 & line 268
    from: if ( $this->options['se_exclude_posts_list'] != '') {
    to: if ( $this->options['se_exclude_posts_list'] != '' && !is_admin()) {

    hope that helps someone and maybe could be included in the next release.

    It seems this is still an issue, unfortunately. I wouldn’t bump a five-month-old thread otherwise.

    I’d strongly prefer not to edit the plugin, to prevent losing changes on update – is an official fix for this going to come any time soon?

    It may be wise to avoid using is_admin() for this, as is_admin() returns true any time submissions to admin-post or admin-ajax occur, which can be (often are) from unprivileged users. (See: Sucuri on the MailPoet vulnerability)

    I haven’t yet dug into the plugin to find a better solution, but may do so later.
