# Breaking: #97530 - Indexed Search option searchSkipExtendToSubpagesChecking removed {#breaking-97530-indexed-search-option-searchskipextendtosubpageschecking-removed}

See [forge#97530](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/97530)

## Description {#description}

The TypoScript property `searchSkipExtendToSubpagesChecking`
related to Indexed Search query results has been removed.

Setting the option made Indexed Search bypass the check for validating pages
related to TYPO3's `extendToSubpages` Core feature. However, since the
`extendToSubpages` functionality has now been optimized via an alternative
to `getTreeList()`, the option is removed.

## Impact {#impact}

Setting the option
`plugin.tx_indexedsearch.settings.searchSkipExtendToSubpagesChecking`
has no effect anymore.

All search requests within indexed search will now respect the
`extendToSubpages` flag.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations using Indexed Search having this option set.

## Migration {#migration}

If you still encounter using indexed search related to `extendToSubpages` it is
recommended to extend Indexed Search queries with custom hooks to manipulate
the search query.
