# Important: Organisational units are searchable on TYPO3 v13 {#important-organisational-units-are-searchable-on-typo3-v13}

## Description {#description}

On TYPO3 v13 the search of the list module and the backend search found no
organisational unit by its text, only by its uid. The TCA of
`tx_academicpersons_domain_model_organisational_unit` named
`function_name` as its search field, a column of the function type table
that the unit table does not have, and TYPO3 v13 drops a search field that does
not exist.

The search fields of the unit are now `unit_name` and `unique_name`.

The profile information table had the same defect in part: it named
`description` next to `title`, and its text is in `bodytext`. It
now searches `title` and `bodytext`.

## Impact {#impact}

On TYPO3 v13 a search for the name or the unique name of an organisational unit
lists the unit. A search in the profile information table, which the list
module shows only when page TSconfig sets
`mod.web_list.table.tx_academicpersons_domain_model_profile_information.hideTable = 0`,
also finds the words of its text. TYPO3 v14 searches every suitable field of a
table on its own and was not affected.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Every installation on TYPO3 v13 whose editors search for organisational units
in the backend, or for the text of profile information records that page
TSconfig shows in the list module.
