# Breaking: #102902 - Search rules removed from Indexed Search {#breaking-102902-1706022423}

See [forge#102902](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102902)

## Description {#description}

The "Rules" section in Indexed Search stems from a time when today's knowledge
how a search works was considered "advanced". By today's standards, it can be
considered common sense and therefore the rules and its related TypoScript
configuration have been removed.

## Impact {#impact}

The Indexed Search plugin doesn't show the rules anymore. The Fluid partial file
`Resources/Private/Partials/Rules.html` and the related TypoScript
configuration `plugin.tx_indexedsearch.settings.displayRules`
have been removed.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

All installations displaying the Indexed Search search rules are affected.

## Migration {#migration}

### Fluid {#fluid}

Remove any overrides for the partial file `Resources/Private/Partials/Rules.html`,
as well as the `<f:render partial="Rules" />` invocation from a potentially
overridden `Resources/Private/Partials/Form.html` partial file.

### TypoScript {#typoscript}

If configured, remove the `plugin.tx_indexedsearch.settings.displayRules`
configuration.
