Likewise some properties have been marked as deprecated:

  • [not scanned] search_field
  • [not scanned] search_levels
  • [not scanned] showLimit
  • [not scanned] returnUrl

Impact 

Accessing the properties or calling the methods will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error.

Affected Installations 

Third party code which accesses the properties directly or calls the methods.

Migration 

In general, extensions should not instantiate and re-use controllers of the core. Existing usages should be rewritten to be free of calls like these.
