# Breaking: #61510 - Improvement of indexed_search

See [forge#61510](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/61510)

## Description

The extension indexed_search is improved in the backend and frontend.

### Backend

Previously the functionality of indexed_search has been scattered to multiple modules.
Information about indexed_search was available in a custom module in "Admin tools" and 2 sections in the "Info" module.

The complete code has been moved to a central place, which is now a custom module in the area "Web" and has been rewritten
by using Extbase & Fluid. Translations and a modern UI have been added as well.

## Impact

### Changes in the Backend

The previous user configuration for indexed_search modules is not working anymore.
Therefore editors won't see the module anymore after login.

### Changes in the Frontend

The TypoScript configuration changed. If indexed_search is installed, it is automatically activated:

```typoscript
config.index_enable = 1
config.index_externals = 1
```

## Affected installations

All installations using indexed_search

## Migration

### Backend

Reconfigure the backend users and groups if users need to see the module of indexed_search.
